Notes
- Prawns can be replaced for fish, chicken or tofu.
- My advice is, cook quinoa in bigger batches so you aren’t constantly cooking. It keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days cooked.
- These are a great quick option to take with you to work to eat on lunch break.
- You can change the habanero salsa for a sauce of you choice, could be sweet chilli or even a vinaigrette.
- If you don’t have a grill or grill pan, you can fry them instead.
- If you can’t get fresh corn, canned is fine or use another veg of your choice
