Honey lime prawn stir-fry

If you’re a fan of Chinese takeaway favourite honey prawns, try this lighter version of a honey lime prawn stir-fry from chef Aleksis Kalnins. Served with capsicum and sugar snap peas for crunch and sweetness, this dish delivers on a comforting flavour combination without any of the deep-frying clean-up!
