This is a blog post on prawn and samphire stir fry. Samphire is in season at the moment. It’s a great way to cook it. Samphire is a vegetable that is found on the coast near the sea. It has got naturally salty after taste. A taste of seawater. It is naturally high in Vitamin A, a good source of iron and calcium. I have bought it from an online supermarket Waitrose.

Any type of seafood makes a great accompaniment to samphire. This recipe can be served on a bed of rice or noodles. Samphire can also be used in clear soup noodle recipes. Stir-fries are a great way to cook them as it requires very little cooking time. it’s great to serve with rice. it makes a quick mid-week meal.
