Resetting your diet or opting for a short detox or cleanse can really help to bring some balance… I have listed a couple of inflammation busting recipes, that give you a taste of what to expect if you wanted to join me for my July Program, which you can learn more about here

Roast peppers at 230 C / Gas 7, for 10 minutes rotating to each side, about 15-20 minutes total
Grill for the last 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool. Remove skin from peppers and slice off the stem.
In the Soup Pan:
1 tbsp oil plus your garlic & shallot.
Saute on medium until fragrant. Add in the prawns and water.
Cook on medium until orawns are pink and no longer translucent. Should not take more than 6-8 minutes if prawns are medium size. (for quick option you can use precooked/frozen prawns & add it thawed at end of cooking bisque).
Add in your salt/pepper. Stir all together.
Remove prawns, place in bowl or plate.
Next add in the coconut milk, broth, seasonings, and starch to the pot. Lightly simmer and mix all together for about 5 minutes. (reduce the amount of red pepper flakes and cayenne for less spicy)
Place liquid and roasted red pepper in high speed blender or use an immersion hand blender.*

Add shrimp back in last and keep warm until ready to serve.
