How to:

Cook prawns perfectly

Prawns can be tricky to cook if you're a novice. Here's how to get it right every time.

If frozen make sure they are completely defrosted. The best way to defrost is to keep them wrapped in cling wrap and immersed in cold water.

To shell, twist the head off, next remove the legs and pull off the shell.

To devein take a thin sharp knife and run along the vein, run under cold water to clean.

When stir frying prawns they take very little time to cook through, about 30 seconds and if grilling, around 1 minute.

Recipe by: Abigail Donnelly
Serves: 4
Allergens: Wheat free / Gluten free
Dietary considerations: Fat conscious / Pescatarian / Dairy free
Category: Easy / Quick / Gourmet
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
16 tiger prawns, cleaned
2 green apples
2 heads baby butter lettuce
For the avocado-chilli salsa:
2 avocados, diced
2 fresh chillies, chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 T avocado oil
For the lemon aïoli:
1 free-range egg
2 t Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup sunflower oil
Cooking instructions:

Steam the prawns until they are cooked through and a vibrant pink in colour, then remove the heads.

Thinly slice the apples and squeeze over a little lemon juice to prevent discolouring.

Shred the lettuce and toss it with the prawns and apple. Top with spoonfuls of the avocado-chilli salsa and a generous drizzle of lemon aïoli. Season to taste and serve.

To make the avocado-chilli salsa: Gently toss the avocado and chilli with the seasoning, avocado oil and lemon juice.

To make the lemon aïoli: Blend the egg, juice of ½ a lemon, mustard, garlic and seasoning until combined. With the blender motor running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until the mixture is thick and creamy. Finally, add the remaining lemon juice.

Cook’s note: To devein the prawns, use a sharp pair of scissors to make an incision down the length of the prawn’s back, then gently pull out the brown "cord".
