Place a large lidded frying pan on a high heat and add the bacon bits. Fry for several minutes until turning brown. Toss in the mushrooms and fry for a few more minutes until shiny and tender. Remove the bacon and mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
Add the onion and pepper to the pan, stir and reduce the heat to minimum. Place the lid on the pan and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the peas, tomatoes and 2 tbsp water. Place the lid on the pan and cook for 8 minutes.
Remove the lid and stir through the rice, squashing it with the back of the spoon to break up any lumps. When warm, add the prawns and cook lid on for 4 minutes.
Stir through the lemon juice and parsley and serve.
