Lite Prawn with Spring Vegetables

Lite Prawns with Spring Vegetables

Enjoy a deliciously light yet satisfying shrimp and vegetable dish, making the most of spring leeks, sweet-tasting peas and zucchini.

3/4 pound medium prawns, unshelled and de-veined
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Juice of 2 large lemons
2 sprigs of rosemary
1 large leek, white part only, sliced
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 cup snow peas
1 tsp poly-unsaturated reduced salt butter (for sauté)

Place prawns in a large resealable plastic bag with lemon juice, garlic and rosemary. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. With butter, sauté leeks and zucchini on medium heat until softened and leeks are fragrant—about 4 minutes.

Add snow peas and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add prawns and marinade to skillet and cook until prawns are no longer pink—about 3 minutes. Serve with rice or noodles. We've found vermicelli rice noodles are best!
