A SPICY, SAUCY STIR-FRY THAT'S ON THE TABLE IN 20 MINUTES!
If you’re craving something bold, spicy, and packed with flavor, this stir-fry delivers.
These garlic chili prawns come together in just 20 minutes, making them the perfect fuss-free weeknight dinner that still feels a little fancy.
The secret to the dish? A fiery but balanced sauce made with Everiday Garlic Chili Oil, coconut aminos for that umami depth, and a touch of sesame oil for richness. It’s salty, spicy, slightly sweet, and just thick enough to cling to every bite. If you’re not familiar with coconut aminos, they’re a gluten-free, soy-free alternative to soy sauce, with a slightly sweeter profile, great for those avoiding soy or looking to reduce sodium.
Serve these saucy prawns:
-
Over jasmine rice or cauliflower rice
-
Tossed with noodles (like rice noodles or even kelp noodles)
-
Or in lettuce cups for a light, low-carb option
This recipe is super flexible — swap out prawns for tofu to make it vegetarian, and use whatever veggies are hanging out in your fridge. Bell peppers, green beans, mushrooms, or asparagus all work beautifully.
Whether you’re cooking for yourself or serving a crowd, this one’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. And bonus: it’s Clean-in-15 friendly, full of nourishing ingredients, and big on flavor without the heaviness.
Garlic Chili Prawns
A delish stir-fry ready in 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 300g / 10oz prawns, deshelled and cleaned
- 1.5 cups of any chopped veg you have in the fridge (I used bell pepper & green beans but this would work well with almost anything from mushrooms to asparagus)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 4 Tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 to 2 Tbsp Everiday Garlic Chili Oil
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch
- Chopped scallions or cilantro
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix all of your sauce ingredients together and set aside
- In a pan, heat your oil. Once hot add your veggies and fry for about 2 minutes.
- Add your Shrimp (vegetarians' this works great with tofu!) and season everything with salt & pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until your shrimp is cooked through.
- Next pour in your sauce and stir to combine. Let everything heat through and the sauce should thicken and coat your prawns and veggies. If you find the sauce too thick, you can add a bit of water to loosen.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped scallion, cilantro, or both.
