EDAMAME, PRAWNS AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Serves 4
2 Tbsp olive oil

3 garlic cloves, chopped

1 red chilli, finely chopped

400g raw prawns

2 cups edamame

6 slices prosciutto, halved

2 Tbsp chopped dill

1 avocado, peeled and sliced

2 cups rocket leaves

1 Tbsp lemon oil

2 tsp lime zest

¼ cup lime juice
  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic and chilli, cooking for 3 or 4 minutes. Toss in the prawns, cooking for 5-8 minutes, depending on their size, until bright and pink. Remove and cool to room temperature.
  2. Into a large bowl, place the edamame, prosciutto, dill, avocado, rocket, lemon oil, zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold through the prawns.
  3. Serve the salad on a large platter.
