"A refreshing prawn/shrimp stir fry from Australian BH&G Diabetic Living. They direct to leave the tails on but I always remove them, personal taste."

I love the spices, colors and textures of this dish, which I made for Photo Tag. I served it with spicy Thai rice. I did a little converting amounts. 1 kg prawns is 2.2 lbs, 250 g green beans is approximately 1/2 pound, and as best as I could figure out the red capsicum is a red bell pepper. All tasted wonderful and worked prepared as a half recipe. My only wish is that there were a bit of a sauce with it.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
