Zesty Prawn, Avo and Green Chilli Salad recipe by Cherrypick

Enjoy this Mexican-inspired dish made with king prawns, avocado and lots of fresh lime. This makes a great dish to serve in warm weather; enjoy it with tortilla chips or in tacos, if you prefer for a light dinner or lunch.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Twist the coriander leaves away from the stalks and finely chop them. Add them to a non-metallic bowl along with the zest and juice of the limes, finely grated ginger, garlic and half of the sliced green chillies (try a little of the chilli to see how hot it is first – you may only need 1 chilli if very hot). Add the sugar and 1 tsp salt, and stir to dissolve. Cover the bowl and chill to let the flavours infuse.

Step 2

Cut each cooked prawn into 3-4 pieces.

Step 3

Add the chopped prawns to the lime marinade and toss well to coat. Cover and chill until cold.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, avocado and tomatoes. Roughly chop the coriander leaves and stir through the prawn salad, then pile onto a large sharing plate, scatter with the sliced chilli and serve with the tortilla chips for scooping.
