Healthy Prawn Jambalaya Recipe
Ingredients
- spray olive or canola oil spray
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1 capsicum, chopped
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, optional
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2/3 cup rice (uncooked)
- 1 1/2 tsp reduced-salt vegetable stock
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 x 400 g can no-added-salt diced tomatoes
- 200 g uncooked (green) prawn, peeled
Method
- Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Cook onion for 3 minutes until softened, stirring often.
- Add garlic, celery, capsicums, paprika and cayenne; season with pepper. Cook for 3 minutes until fragrant then stir in rice, stock powder, water and tomatoes.

Love this recipe! I add extra veges (whatever I have in the fridge, like broccoli, peas or beans) and it makes 3-4 meals. Freezes well.

Very yummy and quick and easy to make. This would be just as good made with chicken if you don’t like prawns. A big tick.
