Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Turn the grill to high (240C)
  • Boil a half-full kettle
  • Pull out a large frying pan, an ovenproof dish, a medium bowl & a measuring jug

Grill the prawns

  • Drain the prawns, then place into the ovenproof dish and grill for 5 mins, until pink and almost cooked through

Make the satay sauce

  • Cut the broccoli into small florets
  • Dissolve the creamed coconut in the jug with 300ml boiling water. Stir in the peanut butter to melt
  • Add the tamari, ginger paste, honey, juice from 1 lime and the half pack of cornflour. Mix well until smooth

Build the dish

  • After 7 mins, add the satay sauce mixture to the ovenproof dish
  • Toss the broccoli and the sugar snap peas into the sauce, pull the prawns on top of the veg, then place back under the grill for 6-7 mins, until the prawns and veg are cooked through

Assemble the cucumber salad

  • Meanwhile, halve the cucumber lengthways, run a spoon down the centre to remove the seeds, then thinly slice into 1/2cm half-moons. Deseed and thinly slice the chilli
  • Add the cucumber and chilli (for those who'd like the heat) to the medium bowl, along with the juice from the other lime. Season with salt

Heat up the rice & plate up

  • Heat the large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon
  • Add a splash of water and a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot
  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
  • Serve the rice into bowls, topped with the satay prawn curry and cucumber salad
