all you want to know about prawns and no more..

I am on a red meat clear zone at the moment.  So, rather than heave at the sight of another tin of tuna I went out and got me some prawns.  RAW PRAWNS!!!
Through a few things together (few being the operative word here) and came up with this dish.  I'm not sure what to call it so perhaps you can leave a comment and tell me what to name it.

Ingredients:
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2cm grated ginger
1 clover of garlic finely diced
1/2tsp ground cumin
1/2tsp ground coriander
pinch of dried chilli
100gr shelled and tailed prawns (I had 10)
1 c finely chopped brocolli 
handful spinach



  

Method:
In a bowl mix lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, chilli and prawns.  Let marinade for at least 30minutes.
In a frypan steam your brocolli until softened then turn heat up as high as possible and add prawns and all the marinade.  Stir fry quickly until prawns have turned white and firmed up.  Should only take a couple of minutes.  Throw in your spinach leaves and mix through.  I don't like to cook my leaves really, I prefer them to just be stirred through and wilted slightly.
Remove from heat and devour immediately!!
This is a challenge for me as I am not a big seafood eater but I loved these and can see them becoming a regular menu item!
