Prawn and mango salad


Attention, attention: This is the most delicious salad ever, it's super easy to make and it's even good for you. Make it as soon as you possibly can!


Ingredients:
  • 8 large fresh prawns
  • 1 large ripe mango
  • Fresh mint and corainder - big bunches
  • 1 red chilli
  • Fresh lime
  • dessicated coconut

Fry your prawns in a little light oil on a medium heat.  Flip them over after a minute and sprinkle the coconut over them so it coats them and toasts gently.



 
While the prawns are cooking slice the mango into long strips. Then finely chop the chilli and add it to the mango.  Add the mint and coriander leaves, and squeeze half the lime over the lot.

Then place the prawns on top, squeeze the remaining lime over the prawns, and scoff it right down.  This was so incredibly good I'll definitely be making it plenty over summer.

Mammoth Prawn Pasta

    Prawns (larger and fresher the better)
-            Chopped/torn Basil (fresh)
G     Garlic
-           Tomatoes
-           Olive oil
-           Fresh spaghetti
-           Cracked pepper
Marinate the prawnies overnight in some beautiful olive oil, cracked pepper, little lemon juice (optional, if you haven't got time – it’s delish without marinating them too).

In boiling water, blanche the tomatoes + peel.
Fry garlic in olive oil.
Dice into bite size pieces.
Put prawnies in with garlic and oil for a short while until cooked. Gently stir in diced tomato and leave in until tomato is heated (not long or tomatoes go soggy).
When heated, take off heat + stir in basil (keep some to garnish).
Garnish with basil

A bit of murray salt is an essential accompaniment. Fresh fetta is an optional extra you can sprinkle on at the end.
