Spicy Prawn and Spinach Salad
Ingredients
- 1 lb. shelled and deveined prawn.
- 1 ounce of olive oil
- A Pinch of Cumin
- Paprika smoked, 1/4 teaspoon
- a pinch of chili powder
- Add freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt to taste.
- Spinach two bunches worth, stems cut off
- Grape tomatoes half a cup
- 1 diced avocado
- Diced onion one-fourth cup
- 14 cup of feta cheese crumbled
- Vinaigrette Ingredients:
- 1 cup of white wine vinegar
- 1 ounce of olive oil
- 1.5 grams of honey
- 1 minced garlic clove
- Add freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt to taste.
Instructions
- Spinach should be washed in cold water and the tough stems should be cut off. Use paper towels or a clean dish towel to pat everything dry.
- Mix the spinach, tomato, avocado, and onion cubes together in a big bowl.
- Mix the garlic powder, salt, and pepper with the olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Toss the salad with the dressing after pouring.
- Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat if you plan on using raw shrimp. Grill the prawn for two to three minutes per side, or until pink and opaque throughout, basting occasionally with Old Bay seasoning (or your preferred seafood seasoning). Take off the cooker and let cool for a while before chopping into small pieces.
- Toss the shrimp salad with the grilled shrimp (or the cooked shrimp that has been defrosted). Immediately serve
Recipe Modifications
You can eat this salad any time of year and feel satisfied and revitalized. Add some grilled chicken or steak to your salad for a heartier meal. Cut out the protein if you’re trying to lose weight. You can substitute arugula or romaine lettuce for the spinach if you like. Try switching up the fruits and nuts for a truly one-of-a-kind salad. The combination of sliced almonds and dried cranberries is scrumptious.
