Prawn Avocado Pasta Salad Recipes

PRAWN & AVOCADO PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in boiling water for 10-11 mins. Just before the end, add prawns and cook through. Drain, cool under cold water, drain and transfer to a big bowl.
• Put the oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, avocado, tomatoes and spring onions in a separate bowl, then mix well - don't mash the avocado. Season. Gently toss the mix into the pasta, with the rocket and basil.

FIERY SHRIMP, AVOCADO AND PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the penne. Before you boil the pasta, set the shrimp in a strainer and dip them in boiling water to cook them through, a few minutes. Drain, cool, pat dry and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the penne to the same boiling water and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until tender but still firm. In a food processor puree the green onions, celery, oil, lemon juice, and thyme. Season to taste with Tabasco sauce.
• Drain pasta and rinse under cold water to cool thoroughly. Drain again and pat dry.
• Combine the pasta, shrimp and toss with the dressing. Right before serving, peel, pit and dice the avocados and add them to the pasta. Toss gently and adjust the seasoning.

SPINACH, AVOCADO & PRAWN SALAD

Steps:

• Finely chop the chilli, removing the seeds if you don't like too much heat. Mix in a large bowl with the garlic, lime zest and juice, soy sauce and sesame oil, then tip in the prawns and toss to coat. You can leave the prawns to marinate in the fridge for an hour or so.
• Lift the prawns out of the marinade. Toss the spinach in the marinade until coated, then tip into a serving dish. Slice the acovados and tuck pieces in amongst the spinach with the prawns.
