spot spot prawn salad spot prawn seasonIn our opinion, adding spot prawns to anything is cause for celebration, so this light and flavourful spinach, strawberry, and spot prawn salad recipe is deserving of it’s own holiday!
For this salad, we’ve indicated spot prawns that are already cooked and peeled. If you’re making it with live prawns, you can use these tips. If you have frozen tails, thaw them by popping the block out of the pack into a colander and running them under cold water for a few minutes. Whether you’re using fresh or frozen, to cook them, place the tails in a shallow roasting pan and pour boiling salted water over to cover. Remove tails after 1 minute and peel them. This is a great way to make sure the tails don’t get over-cooked!
