Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) Zest and halve the lime.

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Into the Pan

a) Drain the prawns. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the bell pepper and fry for 1 min, then add the prawns.

c) Season with salt and pepper and stir-fry for 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

d) Meanwhile, combine in a small bowl the Cajun spice mix, soured cream, the juice from half the lime and the mayo (see pantry for amount). TIP: Keep the other half of the lime for another recipe.
