If you're in a rush you'll find this sauce approximates the savoury goodness of satay sauce while being an absolute breeze to prepare. You can rustle it up in no time from a mere four store cupboard ingredients. Bung in some prawns and vegetables, maybe some noodles too, and you've got a meal. No sweat!
Lazy Girl's Peanutty Prawns (serves 2)
You'll need:
- 200g raw shelled prawns
- A bunch of vegetables, if you're a really lazy girl then just buy any ready-prepared bag of stir fry veggies
- 2tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 1tbsp sweet chilli sauce or chilli jam
- 2tsp soy sauce
- 1tsp sesame oil
Make it!
- Stir together the peanut butter, chilli sauce, soy and sesame oil.
- Heat some vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan. Fry the prawns for a couple of minutes until they are pink and barely cooked.
- Add the vegetables into the pan and continue to stir fry until they are lightly cooked.
- Stir through the peanut sauce to warm through.
I reckon a squeeze of lime in that sauce might go down a treat as well. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteAlex, can I just come and live in your house and live on these peanutty prawns FOR EVER?
