Prawn Avocado Pasta Salad Food

MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE SHRIMP PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Make the lemony dressing. In a large bowl, whisk lemon juice, zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, spices, salt and pepper.
• Now build the salad. Add the pasta to the same bowl. Add remaining ingredients except the feta. Toss well to combine, then add feta and give just a gentle toss (see note below, if you want to make this pasta ahead of time.)

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.

SPINACH, AVOCADO & PRAWN SALAD

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.

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.
