Ingredients
- 1 lb large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the prawns by patting them dry with paper towels and placing them in a medium bowl.
- Season the prawns with salt and pepper, lightly drizzling with olive oil to help prevent sticking during grilling.

- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ensuring the surface is clean and lightly oiled.
- Grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and develop light char marks. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
- While prawns are grilling, arrange mixed greens on serving plates as a base.
- Once prawns are cooked, immediately transfer them onto the prepared mixed green beds.
- Drizzle the avocado aioli generously over the prawns and salad.
- Serve immediately while prawns are still warm, garnishing with additional fresh cracked pepper if desired.
Tips
- * Make sure to pat the prawns dry with paper towels before grilling to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. * Don't overcook the prawns - they should be pink and slightly charred, but still tender and juicy. * Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and creamy texture in the aioli. * Prepare the avocado aioli ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld together. * Don't be shy with the avocado aioli - it's the star of the show!
