Prawns are a good source of unsaturated fat, which makes up the majority of its fat content. Unsaturated fats can help improve your blood cholesterol levels when you eat them in place of saturated or trans fats. Prawns, like other fish and shellfish, are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids — essential fatty acids your body does not produce. Omega-3s can reduce inflammation and your risk of heart disease, cancer and arthritis, as well as help with brain function.
Asparagus and Prawn Stir fry
METHOD
12 Minutes
ONE
Chop the Lemongrass, lime leaves, spring onions and asparagus. Set the onion and asparagus aside, then combine the grass and leaves with the ginger, fish and sugar. Put to one side.
TWO
Stir-fry the king prawns in a wok for a few minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the pan.
THREE
Throw in the pre-chopped onions and stir-fry for two minutes more. Add the chilli, garlic and spring onion, and cook until the onion has softened. Add the prawns back to the wok along with the asparagus and fry for a further minute.
FOUR
Pour over the sauce that you prepared earlier, and cook until the mixture becomes sticky. Sprinkle with the coriander leaves and serve immediately. Maybe try this before your next game or match, it could be the deciding factor. #edge #energy #focus Asparagus and Prawn Stir-Fry
