Units Scale

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • chopped fresh cilantro, optional as garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

For the Avocado Feta Salsa

  • 1 large avocado - peeled, pitted, and cubed
  • 1 small tomato - seeded and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 of a small red onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of 1 small lime
  • sea salt and black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the prawns, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, chili powder, lime juice and lime zest. Toss to mix. Allow to marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 6 hours.
  2. Skewer the marinated prawns. There should be a total of 8 skewers, with 5 to 6 prawns on each one. 
  3. Grill the prawns over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You will know they are done when they turn pink.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the avocado, tomato, garlic, artichoke hearts, capers, feta cheese, red onion, olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Gently toss to mix. Refrigerate 1 hour. Divide the avocado feta salsa between 4 plates and top each one with 2 prawn skewers.

Notes

  • Storage: I recommend eating the salsa right away. The avocados will brown if stored. Prawns can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: I recommend reheating the prawns in a pan on the stove.
