Steps
Spicy Prawn Salad
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and prawns and sauté 90 seconds, tossing until prawns are almost cooked through. Add hot sauce, salt, pepper and lime juice. Bring to a simmer until prawns are opaque, approx. 2 min; remove from heat. To assemble, divide lettuce among four plates, topping each with 3-4 T of Lime Avocado Dressing (recipe follows). Arrange remaining ingredients in rows, topping with prawns. Serve additional dressing on side, as desired.
Lime Avocado Dressing
Add jalapeño, garlic, oil and spices to processor. Process to fine pieces and add avocado, working to a smooth paste. Add hot sauce, cilantro, lime juice, water, salt and pepper; adjust to taste. Add more water to thin, if needed.
