Honey Garlic Prawn Rice Bowls Recipe
Make sure you get everything ready before you start cooking the prawns in this recipe, as they’re done in 5 minutes!I like to keep this bowl recipe nice and simple – using microwave rice for the base and a mixture of raw chopped vegetables on top. Drizzle the sauce from the pan over the top for the perfect dressing!

Notes
This recipe serves 4 but can easily be scaled to serve 2 by halving the ingredients.
Tip: Swap out the plain microwave rice for a flavoured rice. Lime and coriander or roasted garlic flavours are firm favourites in our house.
