Prawn and Asparagus Stir-Fry
Prawn and Asparagus Stir-Fry Recipe
This Prawn and Asparagus Stir-Fry Recipe is a change from the usual meat and 3 veg. meal. After all Seafood is an important part of a healthy nutritional diet. What better way to get the Seafood fix than a Stir-Fry! Although I have had this recipe for years, I haven’t made this one in ages. Maybe I should buy some prawns and get cooking now that the asparagus is back in season here. Anyhow give this one a go and enjoy!

Hints
Do the prep first putting the vegetables into small bowls near the cook top
Can be reheated the next day, but best served fresh
Don’t have a wok? Don’t worry, I just use a hot frying pan (not ideal but it does the job)
If you can’t purchase choy sum then try another green leafy vegetable as a substitute
Add carrot matchsticks and thinly sliced capsicum or other vegetables in season
