Prawn salad suggestions

You want to used ready-peeled prawns to make life easier for you unless you’ve cooked the shells soft enough. Prawns provide a great amount of important oils and lots of protein. The rest of the ingredients give you those vitamins and minerals, and we suggest adding some spinach leaves for the iron and calcium. You can also add some fresh avocado, lemon juice and a few turns of black pepper and a pinch of salt.
