Ginger Prawns with Zucchini Noodles & Plum Tomatoes

A vibrant, flavour-packed meal that keeps blood sugar steady and taste buds happy. Ideal for semaglutide users or anyone craving a nutrient-rich, light yet satisfying dish.

Ingredients:

• 400g (14 oz) lean beef chuck or stew meat, cut into cubes

• 3 medium golden potatoes, peeled and chopped

• 2 medium carrots, sliced

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 400 ml (1 ¾ cups) low-sodium beef or veggie broth

• 200 ml (¾ cup) tomato puree or passata

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Sauté aromatics: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add garlic and ginger, cooking gently for 1 minute.

2. Cook prawns: Add prawns to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and chilli flakes. Sauté until pink and slightly crispy (about 3–4 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Warm the veg: In the same pan, add chopped tomatoes and spiralized zucchini. Cook on medium heat for 2–3 minutes until just softened.

4. Combine & finish: Return the prawns to the pan, drizzle with sesame oil, toss in fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Wellness Tip:

Front-load your protein! Starting your day with protein-rich meals (like this one at lunch) helps balance blood sugar, reduce cravings, and protect lean muscle, especially valuable during semaglutide-assisted weight loss. Plus, protein supports that “full and satisfied” feeling longer, helping you avoid unnecessary snacking.
