Prawns on Avocado Salsa Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 avocados, cubed
1 semi-dried tomato, diced
1 roasted capsicum, diced
1 bird’s eye chilli, finely chopped
1 tbsp chopped coriander
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp diced red onion
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp basil oil
4 tbsp chilli oil
16 green prawns, peeled and deveined, with tails intact
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
coriander sprigs, extra, to garnish
Method:
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 with garlic.
Toss prawns in remaining lemon juice and olive oil and arrange on top of salsa. Serve garnished with coriander.
