Serves: 1

vegetable stock
1 tsp olive oil

2. Reserve the stock to simmer the French beans for 2-3 mins before serving the dish.
3. Meanwhile heat the oil and gently pan-fry the chilli, garlic and spring onions until aroma is released from all, then add the prawns to the pan, stirring until they turn pink.
