Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp of olive oil, plus extra for frying
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 2.5 limes, juiced
  • 300 g of raw peeled king prawns
  • 1 tbsp of honey
  • 1 tsp of ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp of light soy sauce
  • 160 g of watercress
  • 8 radishes, finely sliced into circles
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 40 g of salad croutons
  • 1 tsp of chilli flakes

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat a pan over a medium heat, add 1 tbsp of the olive oil and half the garlic, then fry lightly for 2 mins to infuse without burning. Add half the red chilli, season with sea salt and add the juice of 1 lime, then stir in the king prawns. Cook for 6 mins, stirring occasionally, until the prawns turn fully pink and opaque, then set aside.

  • Step 2

    For the dressing, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1½ limes, runny honey, the remaining garlic, grated ginger and light soy sauce to a bowl and whisk together well to emulsify into a tangy glaze.

  • Step 3

    In a large bowl, add the watercress, radishes, cherry tomatoes, cooked king prawns and dressing, tossing together well to coat every ingredient evenly.

  • Step 4

    Divide the salad between wide bowls and top with the avocado slices, salad croutons, chilli flakes for extra warmth, and extra lime wedges, if you like.
