- Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy), no added sugar or salt, 2 heaped teaspoon(s)
- Sweet chilli sauce, salt reduced, 2 teaspoon(s)
- Soy sauce, salt-reduced, 1 teaspoon(s)
- King prawns, raw, 300 g
- Zucchini, noodles, 250 g
- Coleslaw salad mix, without dressing, 4 cup(s)
Method
In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of boiling water until sauce reaches a smooth consistency. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the prawns. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until prawns are opaque in the centre and browned on both sides. Remove and set aside. Add zucchini noodles to the pan and cook for a few minutes, until heated through.
Divide the zoodles between two serving bowls. Top with the prawns and coleslaw salad mix. Drizzle over the spicy peanut sauce. Toss to combine.
TIPS:
- If you prefer, you can sauté the coleslaw salad mix in a pan for a few minutes to warm them up. Add chilli flakes for an extra kick of spiciness.
- Save time and purchase pre-spiralised zucchini noodles. These are available at most supermarkets.
