Oh My Goodness! Prawn & Raspberry Salad

July 13, 2020 Leave a Comment

At the weekend we were fortunate enough to have tickets to go to a food and produce sale at Heckfield House. It’s only a small affair but the foods on offer are absolutely superb and I came away with some wonderful white currants, seasonal salad (complete with edible flowers), courgettes/zucchini, and the most flavoursome raspberries I have tasted this year. There might have also been a ginger cake too (just saying) …

The raspberries made their way into this protein-packed prawn and raspberry salad – and oh my goodness but they were good!

It’s a salad that only takes a few minutes to throw together but packs a host of flavours and some unusual textural surprises. It’s great as a salad on a plate but I think would also be beautiful in a tortilla wrap for those with heartier appetites.

 

OMG PRAWN & RASPBERRY SALAD

Ingredients

METRIC/US

Marinade and Dressing:

2 tsp  sesame oil

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

grated zest and juice of 1 lime

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 small red chilli, seeded and finely chopped (optional)

2-3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander/cilantro

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Salad:

200 g/11/3 cups prawns/shelled shrimp

large handful of spinach leaves

25 g/1 oz alfalfa sprouts

50 g/½ cup raspberries

½ small avocado, stoned and sliced

½ small red onion, thinly sliced

 

Method

  1.  To make the marinade/dressing, mix the oil with the garlic, lime zest and juice, soy sauce, chilli if using, coriander/cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Remove about a quarter of the mixture and set aside for the dressing.
  2.  Add the prawns/shelled shrimp to the remaining mixture and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
  3.  Put the prawns/shrimp on skewers and lightly grill/broil for a few seconds each side, then drizzle with half the reserved dressing.
  4.  Toss the spinach with the alfalfa sprouts and the last of the reserved dressing. 
  5.  Add the prawns/shrimp, raspberries, avocado and red onion and toss gently to mix to serve.
