1 Place prawns, 2 teaspoons olive oil, cumin and chilli flakes in a medium bowl, tossing to combine. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add prawns and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Transfer prawns to a plate and set aside.

2 Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil and onion to pan and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add capsicums and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6–7 minutes or until softened and light golden. Add black beans and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until warmed through. Add lime juice and coriander, stirring to combine.
