If you like creamy rich food you will love this dish. This Cantaloupe, Pineapple and Prawn Salad will make a perfect party dish because you can serve this cold or chilled and it can be kept at room temperature for a couple of hours. It's also very easy to make. For salad dressing, I used wasabi mayonnaise because wasabi tastes great with seafood and it adds a little kick that balances out nicely with the sweetness of the fruits.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb prawns
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 oz pineapple
- 2 oz cantaloupe
- A few radish sprout
- 2 tbsp wasabi mayonnaise
- a quarter lemon
To marinate the prawn:
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 egg white
- half tsp salt
- 1 tsp cooking wine
- half tsp white pepper powder
Directions:
- Cut the prawns down the center of the back and take out the vein, and then marinate the prawns 10 minutes before cooking.
- Peel and cut the pineapple and cantaloupe into small chunks (as small as the prawns).
- In a nonstick medium saucepan or a wok, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated prawns to cook. Stir and cook the prawn on both sides, until all the prawns are pink and ready - about 6 minutes. Transfer prawns to a plate.
- In large mixing bowl, add the cooked prawns, pineapple, cantaloupe and wasabi mayonnaise. Mix everything evenly and then transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with radish sprouts and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Now enjoy!
Oh, this looks wonderful! I never would have thought of using wasabi mayo, but I love the idea :)
