King Prawn Satay

Hi everyone,
I thought for a change I’d post another recipe today. This is one of my favorite meals because it’s very tasty and super healthy. I could eat it every day if I could.

Prawns are one of my favorite sea-foods because they are high in protein and low in fat, making them a great low calorie meat. Plus their texture is meaty, so you can really get your teeth into them. When I praise them for being low fat, this is not because fat is bad, but because I like to add other fats to the recipe. If the meat was fatty, I could do this, simply because of calories.

I mostly have basmati rice with this stir-fry just because I love it. But you can also have, quinoa, wholegrain rice or even just broccoli (which I do sometimes later in the day).

Ingredients

  1. 1 medium onion (cut into thick chunks)
  2. 4 mushrooms (sliced)
  3. 250g raw King Prawns
  4. 1 hand full of raisins
  5. 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
  6. 1 tbsp coconut oil
  7. 1 dsp peanut butter
  8. 1 dsp soy sauce
  9. 50g basmati rice (2 servings)

Method

Prepare the vegetables and start cooking the rice

Place coconut oil in  a wok and melt

Add the onion and mushroom and fry for 3 minutes


Now add the Prawns and cook for 3 minutes (until pink)

Sprinkle over the raisins and desiccated coconut and stir for 1 min

Now add the peanut butter and soy sauce and mix well

Drain the rice and serve half with a small portion of the stirfry.

Enjoy!

    Hello, I just discovered your site and love it. Can’t wait to spend more time perusing it! This king prawn satay recipe looks fabulous! What does dsp stand for? I’m thinking teaspoon? (I’m in the US and our metric and measures are different)

    Thanks so much.

  2. I love how all your recipes used ingredients that I have and they all look great (: Could you maybe start adding the nutritional values to more of the recipes?

    • Hi Kim, thanks for your comment. I don’t actually calculate the nutritional value anymore, I only estimate. I’d be there all day if I was to do that with all my recipes LOL! I did it for my food diary week back in January, but it is very time consuming. Besides, everyone will have different portion sizes, so best to just go by not eating too much in one go (depending on your diet approach). Feel free to do the calculations and post them to me though :D

      Cheers

  4. Hi Marianne

    Just came across your site today, you’ve got some great info here, well done!

    I love the idea of this curry and will most definitely be making this soon!

    I noticed your link for coconut oil and looked at the prices. Just wanted to tell you, I get mine from http://www.myprotein.co.uk and it is cheaper there :)

    Keep up the great work!
