LEMONY PRAWN BRUSCHETTAS

Steps:

5-INGREDIENT SHRIMP AND AVOCADO STIR-FRY WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 teaspoons oil for cooking with high-heat, such as canola, grapeseed or rice bran and heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until they turn white halfway through, about 4 minutes. Turn the shrimp and sprinkle in the white parts of the scallions and the lemon zest; cook until the shrimp is done, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the avocado and soy sauce. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and serve with additional lemon wedges.

AVOCADO PRAWNS

Steps:

• Mash the avocados, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and parsley together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook the garlic in the hot oil until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the prawns and increase heat to medium. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir the prawns over medium heat until they begin to change color. Reduce heat to low. Stir the avocado mixture into the prawns; cook until the avocado is completely heated, about 2 minutes. Garnish with a little bit of black pepper to serve.

PRAWN & AVOCADO PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in boiling water for 10-11 mins. Just before the end, add prawns and cook through. Drain, cool under cold water, drain and transfer to a big bowl.
• Put the oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, avocado, tomatoes and spring onions in a separate bowl, then mix well - don't mash the avocado. Season. Gently toss the mix into the pasta, with the rocket and basil.

PRAWN & AVOCADO PLATTER WITH LIME & CHILLI DRESSING

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.

PRAWN, AVOCADO & CUCUMBER SALAD

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.
