Killer Salad Recipes

Sweet chili prawn kebab salad is a simple salad to make, even more so if you add a little cheat, like I did, and use a ready prepared sweet chili sauce to marinade the prawns. Don’t use a whole jar for the marinade though, you will want to save some to use as a dip.

First, you will need to marinade the prawns in the sweet chili sauce, about 20 minutes in the fridge will be sufficient. To cook the prawns I used my George Foreman lean mean grilling machine, wait for the grill to get hot and then place the prawns on the grill and close the lid. The prawns take a couple of minutes to cook, but check they have fully changed colour before you remove them.

Remember to use the drip tray, as some of the sweet chili sauce will run off. If you don’t have one of these grills, you can grill them under a regular grill, the result will be the same, but remember to turn them after a minute, so that both sides brown.

while the prawns were cooking I quickly washed and chopped some iceberg lettuce, cucumber, spring or green onions and a couple of cherry tomatoes, mixed them and placed on a serving plate. I also added the remaining sweet chili sauce in a little dish, to the serving plate.

Once my prawns were cooked, I used a set of tongs to hold the prawns whilst I put a skewer through them to make prawn kebabs. Now you can skewer them before cooking, but I like to be able to pick up kebabs, hot wood is not fun to hold, so I skewer them afterwards.

Then place the prawn kebabs on top of the salad bed and dig in

Enjoy!
