Australian Christmas is in summer and the weather can be very hot. One of the most popular Christmas food is Prawns, and every store sells them. After Christmas, we often have a chance to buy Christmas Prawns at a discount price. I bought some on Boxing Day. Today I used them to make this rice bowl dish for lunch. You can use cooked Prawns.
