Prawn, Ginger and Snow Pea Stir Fry
This is one of the fastest and easiest dinners you will ever make and it's delicious.
If you like, and we do, you can make the same stir fry using scallops, it's so good.

A combination of both prawns and scallops is amazing to.
As the recipe only feeds 2-3 people and I have 5 people in my family, I actually get one other member of my family, usually one of my kids, and we cook both a scallop and a prawn version on the same night in two small woks side by side. It only takes a few minutes to cook, and they quite enjoy cooking. I haven't mastered Asian cooking, so am scared to just double their recipes, so I do it this way. If you don't have a wok, a frying pan will do. Or you could simply add a few more extra pieces of prawn, there is enough sauce to do so.
So if you are looking for a quick mid week meal idea, this is so good and so easy to make.
