I have made a commitment to stick to a healthy diet this year, so as much as possible, I eat less meat and opt for seafood instead. The change was kind of difficult at first, considering seafood is more expensive than meat. What is more is that it is not all the time you can find a good seafood recipe that won't cost you that much. Luckily, I have a partner who is creative in the kitchen and just recently, she made me this delicious seafood meal that I would love to share with you, guys. She calls it called Grilled Herbed Prawns in Mayo Mustard Dressing with Mixed Green Salad. If you are into seafood and salad, this is the perfect dish for you! The recipe is simple and you can prepare it in less than an hour (not including the marinating part, of course). The best part is that it won't cost you that much, which means you can always prepare it every time you're craving for prawns and salad.
Enjoy!
Main Ingredients:
For the prawns
3 pcs. prawns, butterflied and deveined
paprika
cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
For the dressing
½ cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup Dijon mustard
salt and pepper
chopped parsley
Instructions for preparing the prawns:
Begin by marinating the prawns with paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Once marinating is done, sear marinated prawns in a little olive until the color changes. Remove prawns afterwards and set aside in a separate container.
Instructions for preparing the mayo mustard dressing:
Take both mayonnaise and mustard and whisk them together in a small bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. After that, sprinkle the mixture with parsley and mix it well.
Now comes the assembling part.
Instructions for assembling:
What you will need
Mixed salad greens
chopped onions
chopped carrots
To assemble
On the center of a salad plate, assemble a bed of mixed salad greens and sprinkle some chopped onions and carrots on top. Take the grilled herbed prawns and position them gently around the green salad. I would suggest placing up to three pieces of prawns only per serving. Finally, drizzle the dish with mayo mustard dressing.
There you go! Another healthy seafood recipe you can enjoy this year. If you want, you can also enjoy this dish a bottle of favorite red wine. Perfect for a lovely evening with your partner!
