Prawn platter with whipped avocado
- Replies 0
I am a lover of prawns, but they are a rare ‘treat’ for me given the cost, but during Easter and Christmas time I always do my best to get my hands on some! I know you can buy them at Coles, Woolworths and ALDI for an affordable price - so please do that if you’re unable to buy fresh prawns. I personally love the garlic prawns at ALDI, so if you are stumped for prawns because of the price, why don’t you try these ones in this recipe? I think it will go well with the whipped avocado!
Ingredients
1/4 cup coriander leaves
20 cooked black tiger prawns, peeled leaving tails intact, deveined
2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted
1/4 cup (60g) sour cream
1 lime, juiced
Chilli-honey sauce (or just use honey, it’s just as good)
1/2 birdseye chilli, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tbsp finely chopped shallot
1 lime, juiced
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
