1 tbsp chopped coriander

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tsp diced red onion

2 tbsp lemon juice

Gently mix avocado, tomato, capsicum, chilli, coriander, olive oil, onion and 1 tbsp of lemon juice in a bowl. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Place a round biscuit cutter in the centre of each plate and spoon avocado salsa into it. Lift biscuit cutter away to leave a neat round of salsa. Spoon basil and chilli oils around salsa.

Season prawns with sea salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil on a barbecue plate and cook prawns until golden on one side. Turn over and cook until almost done (the prawns should still be a little opaque in the middle). Scatter
