Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the prawns. If they are not already peeled and deveined, do so under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey, chili flakes, and lime juice. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved and the ingredients are combined. This will be your chili honey sauce.
- Season the prawns with salt and pepper to taste. Make sure they are evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned prawns to the skillet in a single layer. Cook the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough.
- While the prawns are cooking, prepare the avocados. Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully slice them into wedges. Use a spoon to gently scoop the slices out of the skin.
- Once the prawns are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Arrange the avocado slices around the prawns for an appealing presentation.
- Drizzle the chili honey sauce generously over the prawns and avocado slices. You can adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
- Garnish the platter with fresh cilantro leaves for added flavor and a pop of color.
- Serve immediately while the prawns are still warm, and enjoy your Prawn Platter with Avocado and Chilli Honey Sauce!
Tips
- Always use fresh, high-quality prawns for the best flavor and texture.
- Pat prawns completely dry before cooking to ensure a beautiful golden sear.
- Cook prawns quickly over medium-high heat to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to maintain their shape when slicing.
- Adjust the chili flakes according to your spice tolerance - start with less and add more if needed.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the prawns at their most tender and the avocado at its creamiest.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or a squeeze of fresh lime just before serving.
