Last  weekend friends came to stay for the weekend and I was making dinner for us all on Saturday night.  I decided I didn’t want to spent too much time in the kitchen but I wanted dinner to have a little bit of a wow factor! This very easy (and delicious) prawn and asparagus stir fry was a real hit and this is how I made it!

It is adapted from an Ocado recipe as their recipe was a little too faffy for me, and I wanted something that would be easy to replicate mid-week too! Don’t be put off by the number of ingredients, it really is very easy!
