Sizzling Garlic Prawns with rice and peppers

SIZZLING GARLIC PRAWNS WITH RICE AND PEPPERS

This is a quick recipe from Weight Watchers.  


For the weight watchers amongst you it serves 2 at 9 propoints a serving.  For anyone else, it's a very tasty dish so don't be put off by the WW tag.

20g butter
1 clove garlic crushed
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
200g raw King Prawns
spray oil
1/2 onion chopped
1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
1 medium red pepper, finely chopped
250g bag Tilda Brown Basmati Steamed Rice
1 tsp cayenne pepper
4 tsp lime juice, fresh
1 spring onion, sliced

Very gently melt the butter, add the garlic and gently cook the prawns for 2 mins each side until pink and cooked through.

Mist a separate pan with spray oil ad cook the onion and peppers until soft but not coloured.

Cook the rice in the microwave according to the pack instructions, then add to the pan with the onion and peppers. Add cayenne pepper, lime juice and spring onion. Stir in parsley and serve topped with the prawns.

You can use already cooked prawns, just make sure you don't overcook them or they will be rubbery.

Cook your own rice if you prefer.
