Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 300 g raw king prawns (defrosted and de-veined)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- 3 tablespoons light soy sauce

- ½ small red onion (peeled and finely diced)

Instructions
- Heat the microwave rice through, as per the pack instructions. Once cooked, it can be left in the packs for a few minutes, while you cook the prawns.
- Now make the prawns. Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan (skillet) over a high heat until the butter starts to bubble.
- Season the king prawns with the salt, pepper, and paprika, then add to the pan and fry, turning often with a spatula for 1-2 minutes, until the prawns start to turn pink.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the garlic. Stir together for a further minute, then add the soy sauce and honey.
- Stir together for a further minute, then turn off the heat.
- Divide the rice between bowls. Arrange the honey garlic prawns on top, along with the cucumber, avocado, and red onion.
- Drizzle any sauce left in the pan over prawns and rice.
- Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and fresh coriander and serve.
