Prawn And Cucumber Salad Recipe - Cooking Index
| Text only |
This salad is particularly pretty as well as good to eat and, being Thai in origin, is completely oil free and low kilojoules.
Drop 1 1/2 pounds raw prawns into boiling water for about 3 minutes or just until they turn pink. Set the saucepan aside and keep the prawns cool in the liquid.
Peel a cucumber about 3/4 pounds in weight and slice it thinly. Shell the prawns and halve them lengthwise. Arrange, prawns and cucumber decoratively in a serving dish.
Make a dressing by combining 3 finely chopped shallots, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and one small chile, chopped finely.
Spoon the dressing over the salad and scatter over the top 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
Leave flavors to combine for half an hour before serving.
