Pumpkin & Zucchini with Prawns


Ingredients
  • 12 medium sized prawns
  • 125gm zucchini, sliced thinly
  • 125gm green pumpkin, sliced thinly
  • 1 medium sized tomato, cut into 8 wedges
  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic

  1. Clean, peel and de-vein the prawns. Pat dry with kitchen towels. Marinate lightly with salt & pepper. Keep in the fridge for ½ hour.
  2. Heat up some oil in a frying pan. Layout all the prawns over the pan and let them fry untouched until they turn pink. Flip over the other side and continue frying until the prawns turn pink and curl up. Do not overcook prawn. Dish up and place on kitchen towels to absorb excess oil. Set aside.

  5. Add in tomato wedge and stir-fry for another 1 minute until the tomato turn slightly soft.
  6. Add in seasonings and mix well with zucchini and tomato. Lastly return the cooked prawns to coat with the rest of the ingredients. Turn the heat to high and stir-fry quickly for 8-10 seconds. Dish up and serve.

Peng: This looks delicious! I'm not a huge fan of pumpkins, how do you feel if I just replaced it with another 125 gm of zucchini? Or is there a substitute of another vegetable you recommend?

Amazing recipe! :0)
