Ingredients
- 500 grams raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for stricter keto)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all ingredients: peel and devein the prawns if they aren't already. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and cut the zucchini into half-moons. Mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the prawns to the pan. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to turn pink. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and ginger, and stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the prawns to the skillet and pour the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) over the mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the prawns are fully cooked and heated through.
Step 7
Sprinkle the stir fry with toasted sesame seeds and toss everything together gently.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
