FAQs

Can I customize an Easy Prawn Salad?

Oh, totally! That's the beauty of salads—they're a blank canvas. Not into greens? Swap them for quinoa, pasta, or even avocado slices. Want to add some heat? Toss in chili flakes or a dash of sriracha. You can also experiment with dressings—go for a classic vinaigrette, creamy Caesar, or even a tropical mango dressing. The prawns work with almost anything, so feel free to make it your own.

Do I need fresh prawns to make this salad?

Nope, frozen prawns work just as well and are super convenient! Just make sure to defrost them properly before cooking or using them in your salad. If you're in a real hurry, pre-cooked prawns save even more time just rinse them under cold water and pat them dry before tossing them in. Fresh prawns are amazing if you can get them, but don't stress if they're not an option.

How can I make my Easy Prawn Salad extra special?

It's all about the little upgrades! Add a sprinkle of feta or crumbled goat cheese for creaminess. Throw in some toasted nuts or seeds for crunch. If you're feeling fancy, grill the prawns with a marinade of garlic, lemon, and olive oil for an extra flavor boost. And for the ultimate upgrade, serve it with a side of crusty garlic bread or a chilled white wine—it'll feel like a five-star meal at home.
