Lifestyle Changes and Eating Well
Sunday, November 26th, 2006Lifestyle changes don’t mean you have to starve yourself and for some people they know what that is like. Since having a lapband, losing many kilos and discovering that I was malnourished, I’ve discovered how to eat well and how to eat good foods that are healthy.
One of my favourite meals is garlic chili prawns and salad. I start with green prawns and I marinate them in the garlic for a couple of hours. I use green prawn cutlets and I remove the tails before I marinate them in the garlic.
I leave the prawns in the fridge until the salad is prepared because they don’t take long to cook in a hot wok.
Salad consists of lettuce, tomato, beetroot, cucumber and some capsicum. It’s not a big serving. Just enough for me, and just enough for my partner…
I place about a teaspoon of olive oil in the wok and when it is hot empty the prawns into the wok and they immediately start cooking. During this process, I add a little chili oil. It isn’t a lot just a dash because I don’t want the prawns to be full of oil.
The prawns are cooked when they are nice and pink and for some reason I always give them just a minute or two more before serving them out next to the salad.
This is such a simple and easy meal to prepare and cook and it tastes delicious.
Even though I can not eat a lot I like to enjoy my meals when I can…
