Always Hungry Club's tips
Make sure the pan is hot before adding the prawns so they get a quick sear without overcooking. Cook broccolini just until tender-crisp to keep it vibrant and fresh.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, but prawns are best eaten fresh. Reheat gently to avoid a rubbery texture.
