Ingredients
- Red Chilli: 1 small red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
- Spring Onion: 2 spring onions, shredded
- Lime Juice: 2 tbsp lime juice
- Mint: 2 tbsp chopped mint
- Sunflower Oil: 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- Shallot: 3 shallots, finely sliced
- Prawn: 200g pack raw shell-on headless prawn, peeled but with tail on (or, if you use ready peeled prawns, you need 175g/6oz)
- Fish Sauce: 2 tbsp fish sauce
- Light Muscovado Sugar: 1 tbsp light muscovado sugar
- Gem Lettuce: 2 little gem lettuces
- Roasted Salted Peanut: 85g roasted salted peanuts, finely chopped
- Green Mango: 2 green mangoes or 3 Granny Smith apples
Directions
- Mix together the lime juice, chilli, fish sauce and sugar in a large bowl. Add the shallots and three quarters of the peanuts and mix well. Cover and set aside for up to 4 hours.
- Peel and coarsely grate the mango or apple, and stir into the mixture along with the mint. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok, add the prawns and stir fry quickly until evenly pink - about 2 minutes.
- Scatter the lettuce leaves on a serving plate and spoon the salad mixture in the centre. Surround with the prawns and scatter over the remaining peanuts and spring onions.
