What Was The Inspiration For This Prawn And Rocket Salad?
Well it was in June last year, when my other half and I had a weekend camping break in Berwick upon Tweed.
We visited a bistro for lunch (I forget its name, sorry) and I ordered, and had, the most amazing cray fish and rocket salad there.
So this is my attempt to recreate that crayfish rocket salad.
Since then this salad recipe has been on the to-do list but I’ve never quite got round to actually getting any cray fish to make it.
I mean you CAN get cray fish, and they will work perfectly in this prawn salad recipe. But as prawns are more readily available and cheaper here, I decided to use them instead.
I find this king prawn and rocket salad really is a quick salad to put together, and there's no cooking involved. It’s been one of my favourites to take to work for my lunch.
