Avocado And Prawns Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the avocado in a bowl with the lemon or lime juice. Add the tomatoes to the bowl with 2 tbsp chives and the Tabasco, then season to taste.
• Divide the prawns between 12 glasses or glass dishes. Spoon over the avocado mixture. Mix the fromage frais with 1 tbsp chives, then season to taste. Spoon over, then sprinkle with the remaining chives. You can now chill for up to 2 hrs before serving. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and toast on the barbecue to serve alongside.

Steps:

• Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a large bowl with some black pepper. Tip in the prawns and leave to marinate for 10 mins.
• Lift the prawns out of the bowl and transfer to a plate, then toss the spinach in the remaining dressing. Add in the avocado and cucumber, and carefully toss to combine.
• Divide the salad between plates, and top with the prawns and cashews.

Steps:

• Put the avocado in a bowl with the lime juice, Tabasco and some seasoning. Roughly mash, then add the tomato, coriander (if using) and spring onion.
• Warm the wrap in the microwave for a few seconds. Spread the avocado mixture down the middle, scatter on the salad leaves and finish with the prawns. Roll up, then eat.

Steps:

• Cook shrimp in a 5-quart pot of boiling salted water* until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes, then drain in a colander.
• Whisk together vinegar, oil, capers, salt, pepper, celery seeds, and Tabasco in a large bowl, then add warm shrimp, onion, celery, and bay leaves and toss to combine. Marinate, covered and chilled, 24 hours to 2 days.
• Just before serving, discard bay leaves. Quarter, pit, and peel avocados and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Gently stir into shrimp salad, then spoon over lettuce.
• When salting water for cooking, use 1 tablespoon salt for every 4 quarts water.

Steps:

• Peel the prawns, leaving the tails intact, then rinse and pat dry. Put all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk to mix.
• Up to 1 hr before serving, peel and stone the avocados, then cut into thick slices and put in a large bowl with half the dressing. Mix lightly to coat all the slices (this prevents them turning brown). Chop the basil and add to the bowl along with the prawns. Toss everything together lightly. Scatter the leaves over a platter, then spoon the prawns, avocado and basil mix over. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:

• In a non-metallic bowl, mix the lime juice, spring onions, tomato paste, oregano, tomatoes and chilli. Mix well, season with salt and pepper, then cover with cling film. (This mixture can now be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.)
• Defrost the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper. Just before serving, peel and cube the avocados. Add to the sauce with the prawns and coriander and mix well. (This can be done up to 3 hours ahead.)
• Carefully separate the lettuce leaves and arrange them over a serving platter. Spoon the prawns and juice into the cup-shaped leaves and serve with crisp ready-cooked poppadums.

Steps:

• Finely chop the chilli, removing the seeds if you don't like too much heat. Mix in a large bowl with the garlic, lime zest and juice, soy sauce and sesame oil, then tip in the prawns and toss to coat. You can leave the prawns to marinate in the fridge for an hour or so.
• Lift the prawns out of the marinade. Toss the spinach in the marinade until coated, then tip into a serving dish. Slice the acovados and tuck pieces in amongst the spinach with the prawns.
