Re: Re: Salads for barbecues

Hello Peter
Thank you very much for your recipe, it looks delicious and will let you know how everyone enjoyed it as soon as I make the salad. Very kind of you to send it to me. Here is a recipe of mine which I hope you will enjoy
DELICIOUS PRAWNS
4 dozen prawns shelled
1 full teaspoon chopped ginger
6 cloves garlic chopped
1 whole small bunch fresh coriander chopped
2 lemons, l set aside for garnish
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ a red chilli
A pinch of salt and a little black pepper.

Prepare the ingredients in advance and set aside in a bowl. This dish must be prepared just before you sit down at the dinner table. While your guests are seated pour your olive oil into a wok or good heavy bottomed frying pan as soon as it starts to heat up cook the ginger and garlic just for a few seconds, add your prawns immediately and the time it takes to choose your spatula to mix everything together your prawns will be cooked. Remember prawns must just say hi to the pan otherwise they will be rubbery and dry . This is the moment to add the juice of l whole lemon, the balsamic vinegar a quick stir then turn the heat off completely. Remove your pan from the stove and add the coriander. Don’t forget to season your dish just before removing from the heat.
You may serve these prawns as a starter on a bed of greens of your choice like mache salad and lemon wedges or as a main meal with a spanish rice and lemon wedges.
What about a nice white wine just to give the final flourish to accompany your divine creation.
