Lazy stuffed sweet potatoes with chilli and coriander prawns

This is a really good lazy but super nutritious meal which doesn't require any fancy food shopping at all. Most of the ingredients are cupboard or freezer staples, so I always eat this when I'm feeling low on the cayshhh but don't wanna eat crap. Packed with iron and protein, this is perfect for the low budget food snob! 

You will need:
One large orange flesh sweet potato
A couple of handfuls of frozen spinach
A couple of handfuls of frozen soy beans 
Half a pack of chilli and coriander prawns (Tesco's do two packs for £5 - sounds expensive but that's 4 meals in total! Don't be a scrooge)
A twist of salt and pepper


Preparation:
1. Whack the soy beans in a microwave-proof bowl and add water until just covered. Microwave on full for 2 minutes. Remove and drain.
2. Whilst the soy beans are draining, put the frozen spinach into the microwave-proof bowl, cover with cling-film and microwave for 2 minutes. Remove and drain.
3. Microwave the sweet potato for 2 and a half minutes or until soft. Cut in half, scoop out the flesh and add to the bowl with the spinach and soy beans. Add a twist of salt and pepper and stir until well combined.
4. Spoon into the sweet potato skins. Arrange the prawns on top and dig in!

Variations
- Instead of soy beans and spinach, peas and kale work well too. Pretty much any green, leafy vegetable you can find will be okay. 
- Instead of prawns, try a poached egg or salmon with some fresh chilli and ginger.
