Chilli prawn & mango salad - Real Recipes from Mums

A refreshing salad I often serve at Christmas for lovers of prawns.

Ingredients (serves 4)

1 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 tablespoons Canola oil
2 tablespoons Sweet chilli sauce
750 grams Green prawns peeled tails intact
1 Lime juiced
2 Mangoes peeled & sliced
1 Lebanese cucumber, cut into matchsticks.
2 Red capsicums peeled & sliced

Method

Combine 1 tbs brown sugar, 2 tbs canola oil and 2 tbs sweet chilli sauce. Add 750g green prawns, peeled, tails intact and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat a chargrill pan on medium & cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes.. Bring the marinade in a saucepan to the boil. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 lime, juiced.
Place mango, capsicum, & cucumber on plate & top with prawn marinade.

Notes

I have also made this recipe with shaved cucumber, I used a peeler. There is really only about 5 minutes needed once cooking begins. A variety of vegetables can be added to suit your taste.

I could eat plates of this salad, as I absolutely love prawns, mango & chilli. I’d definitely add some raw onion to the salad, and maybe even some avocado.
