🍳 How to Make It

  1. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. Season the prawns: In a bowl, toss prawns with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

  3. Stir-fry prawns: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add prawns and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.

  4. Sauté veggies: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry bell peppers, onion, snap peas, and garlic for about 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

  5. Combine everything: Return prawns to the pan, add cooked noodles, and pour in the stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together for another 1–2 minutes until well mixed and heated through.

  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a wedge of lime if desired.
