"Raw prawns hang almost straight, perfectly cooked prawns curl into a "C" shape and overcooked prawns form a tight "O" shape."
Toni’s Ginger and Spinach Salad
It’s the dressing that makes this! Make up a normal ratio vinaigrette with olive oil and rice wine vinegar. Then add the following and shake it all in a jar:
A whole ginger grated (2-3 thumbs worth)
A whole bunch chopped coriander
1T soya sauce
1 T fish sauce
½ t sugar
1 clove garlic
Tear up big leaves of spinach and pour over.
If you feel you want to add a few extras to this you could add bacon fried in Westgold butter, diced boiled egg and/or tomatoes cut into wedges.
