Questions about Shrimp and vegetables
How do you cook prawns and vegetables without making the prawns rubbery?
Stir-fry the vegetables first until just tender, then add peeled prawns and cook over high heat for about 2–3 minutes, turning once. Take them off the heat as soon as they are opaque and curled; already-cooked prawns need only warming through.
Which vegetables work well with prawns in a stir-fry?
Try broccoli, peppers, carrots, mangetout and spring onions: cut firm vegetables thinly so they cook quickly, and add leafy greens near the end. Garlic, ginger and a little soy sauce make a familiar savoury seasoning.
What sauce goes well with prawns and vegetables?
A simple mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic and a little lime works well; add the sauce near the end so the vegetables do not stew. For a hotter version, use chilli or a Szechuan-style sauce.
What can you serve with prawns and vegetables?
Serve them over steamed rice or noodles to catch the sauce, or alongside plain rice if the stir-fry is strongly seasoned. They also work as a filling for lettuce wraps.
How should you store leftover prawns and vegetables?
Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container as soon as they have cooled, and eat them within two days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout, stirring so the prawns and vegetables heat evenly.
Can you freeze cooked prawns and vegetables?
You can freeze them in an airtight container, but the vegetables may turn soft and watery when thawed. Defrost in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot; avoid repeatedly cooling and reheating the dish.
How does a prawn and vegetable stir-fry compare with prawn tempura?
Tempura is battered and deep-fried, so it has 145 kcal and 10.8 g fat per 100 g; this dish has 78 kcal and 4.1 g fat per 100 g. Stir-fried vegetables also keep their distinct texture rather than being coated in crisp batter.
Can you eat prawns and vegetables if you have a shellfish allergy?
No: prawns are crustaceans and can trigger a serious shellfish allergy. A dish may also pick up traces from shared utensils, oil or cooking surfaces, so ask about ingredients and preparation if you have an allergy.
