Asian Prawn Salad
This vibrant salad is one of the healthy Asian recipes we learnt at a recent LV= LoveLife cooking class. The prawns are marinaded in anti inflammatory turmeric and quickly pan fried. Put together with ribbons of courgettes and green leaves, the colours are quite stunning. This would make a very lovely starter for a dinner party. If you wanted this as a main meal, you could add more prawns per portion and add more to the salad like some lovely Isle of Wight cherry tomatoes.
