Spicy Prawn and Quinoa with Green Beans

What can I say about this meal? it is simple, tasty, and full of nutrients. Needs little preparation and within 15 minutes you have something that looks as though you've put in a lot of effort.  This is a great idea for using up any vegetables you have lingering in the fridge with no idea what to do with them. Use whatever you have and and make the recipe your own.

Preparation

Wash and pat dry the prawns, place in deep bowl and stir in the curry paste.

Put pan on medium heat, and add the oil, add the prawns and stir through, toss in the green beans, and water. *add extra water was needed but the end result should dry.

Cook on low-medium heat covered for 10 minutes,  and cook down till fluid has evaporated.

Whilst the beans and prawns are cooking put on the quinoa in another pan with enough water to cover it, and cook for 10 minutes. 

Both the quinoa and the prawn should be finished at roughly the same time, turn off the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
