138cal

Ingredients

For 1 serving:

  • 1/2 lb raw prawns or jumbo shrimp (or your choice of protein)
  • Salad:
    • 1/3 cup shredded purple cabbage
    • 1/3 cup Cole slaw (raw)
    • 1/2 cup cooked basmati brown rice (optional)
    • 1/3 cup matchstick carrots
    • 1/3 cup sliced bell pepper
    • 1/4 cup green onions (or to taste)
    • 1/3 cup shelled edamame
    • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro (or to taste)
    • Garnish: chopped peanuts

Steps

Step 1

Set a skillet on medium high heat and spray it with a little olive oil. When the skillet is hot, toss in the shrimp. Add a few pinches of sea salt & pepper and cook until the prawns turn pink, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Step 2

Assemble the salad by dumping all of the ingredients for the salad in a large bowl. Add shrimp and about 1/4 cup of the homemade peanut sauce. Toss and mix together using a spatula.

Step 3

Garnish with chopped peanuts for crunch and more cilantro and green onion if desired. Note: remember that peanuts tend to be calorie dense so if you’re trying to keep your calories low, I recommend adding only 1 tablespoon of chopped peanuts or just leaving them out.

585cal

Ingredients

For homemade peanut sauce for 1.5 cup:

  • 6 tablespoons natural peanut butter (with oil recommended)
  • 3/4 cup lite coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon ginger
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • tablespoons of water to thin as desired

Steps

Step 1
  1. In a bowl, add the ingredients for the peanut sauce and mix together using a fork or whisk. If the peanut butter is too thick or hard, simply place it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften. Once the sauce is the same smooth consistency, set it aside. Feel free to add tablespoons of water to thin it out if desired.
