Healthy Prawn and Chorizo

Creating delicious dishes that are low in carbohydrates is something I like to experiment with. This way I find that I can indulge in my favourite pastime (everything about food) without gaining too much weight.  This prawn and chorizo dish was really very good



Serves 1

1 bag of defrosted raw king prawns
Small piece of chorizo, 1 red onion, 1/2 red pepper & 1 clove of garlic all finely chopped
Splash of chicken stock and white wine
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
Pinch of saffron
Black pepper
2 tbs frozen peas
cooked rice or cauliflower cooked and mashed (this works best if just cooked and still slightly firm)

Fry the onion & pepper until soft
Add the garlic & chorizo fry for 1 minute
Add the paprika & saffron
Moisten with the wine and stock
Add the king prawns & peas cook until prawns are pink stirring occasionally
Stir in the mashed cauliflower or rice
Stir gently until pipeing hot
Finish with finely grated parmesan and chopped chives
