Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare 12 avocados, dice and put in a bowl.

Sprinkle with the juice of a lime, then salt and pepper and mix well.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Peel 1 kg 200 g cooked prawns and cut into small chunks.

Stage 3 - 4 min.

Pour 6 tablespoons olive oil into a small frying pan on high heat. When really hot, add the prawns and fry.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Mix 450 g Mayonnaise and 3 teaspoons curry powder to make the curry mayonnaise.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Mix the curry mayonnaise with the prawns, once they have had time to cool slightly.

Stage 6 - 4 min.

Begin the assembly: serve the salad in a ramekin or glass, beginning with a layer of avocado 2/3 the height of the dish.

Stage 7 - 4 min.

Add the prawns in mayonnaise on top and garnish with a parsley or coriander leaf.

Serve within half an hour (or the mayonnaise will start to darken a little, which looks less attractive).

Remarks

If you don't have a lime, you can use lemon juice instead.

Keeping

Should be eaten within half an hour.
