Grilled Prawns Salad

Day 16 Circuit Breaker: Taking baby steps towards clean eating...

This circuit breaker had made me more conscious of my diet. I'm learning to eat clean. Different people have different definition of clean eating. My definition of clean eating is mainly eating fresh food; to eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less meat, no processed or frozen food, and no salad dressing. 😄

Clean eating with no salad dressing.

I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the salad was! The prawns and vegetables were so fresh and tasty, even without any salad dressing. The trick is to add feta cheese. :)

Ingredients 

• Vegetables for grilling - broccoli, bell pepper, tomatoes, carrots
• Vegetables for raw consumption - cucumber, coriander
• Feta cheese  
• Prawns seasoned with lemon pepper 
• Black pepper 

Preparation 

1. Clean the prawns and season it with lemon pepper. 
2. Chop the vegetables into edible sizes.
3. Grill the prawns and vegetables. 
4. Take the prawn shells off. 
5. Plate the salad with cucumber, grilled vegetables and prawns. 
6. Serve with coriander, feta and black pepper. 

Cooking Tips 

1. To defrost the prawns, allow cold water run prawns sealed in a ziplock bag and run water over the bag for a few minutes until the prawns have defrosted. Do not soak the prawns in water as it might make the prawns soggy. 
2. When grilling, keep the prawn shells on. It will protect the prawns from extreme heat.
