- 200 g Konjac rice
- 170 g Shrimp
- 90 g Avocado
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- ½ Lime
- 40 g Queso fresco (optional)
- 10 g Chipotles in adobo (optional)
- 10 g Cilantro (optional)
Method
- Peel the prawns and pat them dry. Chop the chipotle finely, slice the avocado, and chop the coriander.
- Drain the konjac rice and rinse it thoroughly under cold water, then dry-fry it in a hot pan for 3 minutes, shaking often, until the water has driven off and the grains squeak.
- Warm the olive oil in a small pan over medium with the chopped chipotle for 1 minute, until the oil turns red and smells of smoke.
- Raise the heat, add the prawns and cook 2 minutes, turning once, until pink and just firm. Take the pan off the heat and squeeze in the lime.
- Spread the konjac rice in a bowl and tip the prawns over it with every drop of the red chipotle oil. Add the avocado, crumble the queso fresco on top and scatter the coriander.
