This was a last minute switch. I was going to cook a pork chop on the BBQ and have it with mashed potatoes and vegetables. My partner said he really didn't feel like pork chops. I offered, "I could make a prawn stir fry on rice instead?" Sold!
I put some basmati rice on to cook and got the prawns out of the freezer. I bought a 2lb bag of frozen raw prawns for $5 a while back and they have come in really handy. Freezing kills a bit of the flavor but, being raw, I can cook them properly, not rubbery. I ran the prawns under cold water for a few minutes then left them to thaw.
I diced up an onion and a green pepper and sliced up a carrot and stick of celery. First I browned the onion to golden then took it out and put the prawns in with a crushed clove of garlic. When the prawns were almost cooked I took them out and put in the carrots, then celery and finally the green pepper. When everything was sweated I put the onion and prawns back in and added some soy sauce. When it was all cooked I plated the stir fry over the rice. Fast, easy and reasonably delicious.
