Iceberg Salad and Cumin Spiced Prawns



For a fresh summer salad with a little bit of spice and heat - try this delicious (and very healthy) salad.

You will need (serves 2)
10-12 jumbo prawns (uncooked)
3/4 head of iceberg lettuce (washed and coarsely chopped)
1 chopped red onion (optional)
10 cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
1-2 tbsp cumin
Salt and Pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice
White vinegar
EVOO

In a small bowl,  mix your shrimp (peeled) with your cumin spice, the lemon juice and some salt and pepper.  Let mixture marinade for about 30 minutes.  In the meantime - add your chopped iceberg lettuce into a large mixing bowl with your chopped tomatoes and onions (if you chose to use them).  In a fry pan, heat up a tbsp of EVOO and add your spiced prawns.  Cook on both sides until they have turned pink (as soon as they are pink they are ready - any longer and you will over cook them).  Mix your salad with some white vinegar, salt, pepper and EVOO (taste after mixing to determine if you need more of a certain ingredient).  Plate each salad and top with 5-6 prawns - serve & enjoy!
