6 tbsp n'toutou
1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 vegetable bouillon cube
50ml olive oil
chips (fries) made from 4 white sweet potatoes
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Method:
Peel the prawns (shrimp) but leave the tails on. Place the prawns in a non-stick pan and mix in the n'toutou. Heat very gently and cook gently, stirring frequently, until the prawns turn pink.
Stir in the olive oil and add half the bell peppers along with the crumbled vegetable bouillon cube. Increase the heat, cover the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes, or until the bell peppers are soft.
Add the remaining bell peppers, cover the pan, take off the heat and set aside for 10 minutes.
Adjust the seasonings to taste and serve immediately accompanied by the sweet potato chips (fries).
