Often the classic retro dishes are the best, and this is one such example. Tasty prawns are mixed in a tomato, chilli, lime and garlic dressing, then built into a delicious seafood cocktail with avocado and iceberg lettuce. These colourful dishes make the perfect summer starter to serve for friends or a lovely light lunch to enjoy al fresco with some crusty bread. The full recipe can be found below: 12 cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped 4 spring onions/scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced 1 fresh red chilli/chile, deseeded and finely chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed freshly squeezed juice of 1 lime 400 g/14 oz. cooked and peeled prawns/shrimp in assorted sizes 2 tablespoons freshly chopped coriander/cilantro a few drops of Tabasco 1 ripe avocado ½ iceberg lettuce, shredded salt and freshly ground black pepper, to season lime wedges, to serve 4–6 individual glass dishes SERVES 4–6 Put the tomatoes, spring onions/scallions and chilli/chile in a bowl with the crushed garlic and freshly squeezed lime juice and mix well.
