For many years on Christmas Eve we would eat a delicious fish dinner. Our favourite used to be salmon but sadly my son Ted, who is 11, isn’t a fan nowadays. The only fish he likes are prawns and tuna. Therefore instead of oven baked orange, ginger and soy salmon I’m making a prawn version. Which I have to be honest was just as tasty. It’s definitely the dish I will be serving on Christmas Eve and I hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Orange, Ginger and Soy Prawn Stir Fry – 24 Days of Christmas was a yummy meal we really enjoyed. It was easy to prepare and cook. The ingredients in this meal, if you are using uncooked prawns, are freezable. Personally I think a stir fry tastes better cooked fresh. Plus the leftovers are really yummy too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
