- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced

- 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Directions
Step 1
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to become translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.

Step 5
Sprinkle the red chilli flakes over the vegetables and season with sea salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Add the prawns to the pan, laying them out evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Step 7
Once the prawns are cooked, add the fresh basil leaves and lime juice. Stir everything together gently to incorporate all the flavors.
Step 8
Remove the pan from heat and serve the Paleo Chilli Prawn hot, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
