recipe: Prawn, coriander & Rice Salad

This recipe is one of the easiest I made recently and full of flavour.
Serves 4:

12 raw prawns (I used ones marinated in lemon/garlic/herbs), 1 1/2 cups of basmati rice, 1/2 cup coconut cream, 1 lime - both the zest and the juice, 1 bunch fresh coriander, 2 tbs brown rice, 1 long red chilli, 1 cucumber chopped in small cubes, 4 spring onion finely chopped, 2 tbs olive oil, 1/4 cup roasted peanuts crushed

1. Cook the rice according to packet instructions. Wash with cold water, drain and place in a large bowl;
2. Place the lime zest, juice, coconut cream, coriander and sugar in a blender and blend until you get a smooth cream;
3. Finely chop the chilli (after removing the seeds) and add to the coconut cream;
4. Sauté your prawns on a fry pan a couple of minutes each side until they are cooked (careful not to overcook them);
5. Place the chopped cucumber, prawns and cream in the bowl and mix to coat;
6. Throw the spring onions, the olive oil and mix again;
7. Serve in plates, top with the crushed peanuts and some coriander leaves.


Perfect, delicious, yuuuuummmm!!!
I was really happy with this one!
