Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 green chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander (or parsley), finely chopped
  • 200g peeled cooked prawns
  • 1 romaine or cos lettuce
  • 480g pre-cooked new potatoes, quartered
  • 320g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • pinch of ground black pepper

Directions

1

Make the dressing by mixing together the oil, lime, chillies and coriander or parsley in a salad bowl. Information: If you're not a fan of spice, simply leave the chilli out. Or if you like things particularly spicy, use red chillies instead!

2

Add the prawns and stir well to coat. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (no more than few hours in advance).

3

When ready to serve, remove the prawns from the fridge. Add the potatoes and tomatoes, season with black pepper and mix well. Information: This works best with chopped large tomatoes, but cherry or mini plum tomatoes go well too.

4

Arrange the lettuce leaves on 4 serving plates. Spoon the prawn mixture onto each plate
