Prawns and salad - Real Recipes from Mums

These prawns and salad are a family fave that cooks in minutes and everyone loves! Every time I cook this, I have to share the recipe….. so Mums, here it is!

Ingredients (serves 4)

GARLIC PRAWNS
1/4 cup olive oil
5 cloves crushed garlic
3 red chillies, chopped
700 grams green prawns (shelled)
50 grams butter
bunch spring onions, chopped
bunch parsley, chopped
packet rocket
1 lemon, cut into wedges
crusty bread

Method

GARLIC PRAWNS: Cook the garlic and chilli in the oil, toss the prawns in and the butter too. Season with pepper and add the greens.
Take the pan off the heat and pour onto a serving dish with lemon wedges around edges.
GREEN SALAD: On a large platter scatter a packet of baby spinach leaves, toasted walnuts, avocado slices, chopped anchovies and dress with a caramelised balsamic. And, that is it! Quick easy and looks posh.

Notes

Tried and tested, and much loved.

I love prawns (especially garlic prawns!). I also like the sound of the spinach, avocado and walnut salad; three of my favourite foods!
