Maple and tumeric king prawns



So I conjured this up one afternoon...I wasn't too hungry but wanted a little snack (however after I had eaten it I wished I'de made more). If you are hungry you can bulk this meal out with brown rice, rice noodles, sweet potato fries, vegetables or a large salad.

This meal is full of ingredients that are great for your skin; tumeric is a super anti-inflammatory aswell as the bell peppers- perfect for skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis or eczema. The prawns contain Selenium which is also vital for the overall health of your skin. 

So here it is....

1/2 pre-cooked pack king prawns
drizzle of maple syrup (or season to taste...remember its still sugar)
tbsp tumeric
white onion
yellow bell pepper
pink himalayan salt
