I was craving mexican food today and it inspired me to put together this quick and easy healthy dish. It requires very little time to throw together, so it's great if you're in a rush, or don't feel like spending much time in the kitchen.

・1 lb of king prawns
・1/4 cup chopped cilantro (coriander, in the uk)

Directions:
1) Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, add a dollop of coconut oil (or olive oil)
2) Season the prawns with the cumin, salt, and pepper. Saute for 2 minute, or until the prawns or opaque.
