Feel free to add more greens such as runner beans or broccoli if you want to pack in more of your five-a-day.

If you don’t like shellfish you can substitute the prawns for chicken, pork or beef – just be sure the meat is fully reheated before serving.

This recipe serves 1 person and contains 396 calories.

Ingredients:

1/2 tbsp coconut oil
150g of peeled and cooked king prawns
100g of pre-cooked brown rice (microwaveable pack)
75g spinach
Pinch of dried chilli flakes
1tsp honey
1tsp soy sauce
1tsp sesame seeds

Method:

  • Heat the coconut oil over a moderate to high heat in a non-stick frying pan.
  • Add the king prawns, and cook for 1 minute before adding the pre-cooked brown rice.
  • With the rice added, cook for a further 2 minutes and stir constantly to prevent the rice from burning.
  • Add the soy sauce and honey and stir well.
  • Now add the spinach and chilli flakes, and cook until the spinach is wilted – stirring to ensure the soy and honey sauce is covering the spinach which will help it to wilt.
  • Plate the food up and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Note:  We purchase Harbour Fresh king prawns and Golden Sun Wholegrain rice from Lidl and this whole meal costs less than £3 per portion. Better than paying through the nose for meal plans any day!
