Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound prawns (peeled and deveined)
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1 medium mango (diced)
  • 1/2 small red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 lime Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: Lettuce or mixed greens (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by marinating the prawns in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt for taste, and mix everything until well combined. Set aside.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn opaque and slightly charred.
  2. While the prawns are grilling, slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh with a spoon. Cut it into cubes or slices.
Assembly
  1. On a plate or in a bowl, layer your preferred greens, then add the grilled prawns. Top with fresh mango salsa and avocado slices.
  2. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite.

Notes

Prawn Substitutes: If you prefer or have difficulty finding prawns, shrimp makes a fantastic alternative! Timing Matters: Be cautious not to overcook the prawns, as they can become tough. They only need a few minutes on each side! Customize It: Feel free to add other toppings, like fresh chili for a kick, or swap cilantro with fresh parsley if you’re not a fan. To keep your Grilled Prawns and Avocado Bowls fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the grilled prawns separately from the other components, but it’s best consumed fresh. When reheating, opt for a gentle method like a skillet over low heat to warm the prawns without drying them out.
