Paleo Coconut Prawns, Avocado Salsa and Kick Ass Chilli Sauce

Project Description

Monday’s for me can be a drag! Start of a long week, with the majority of it ahead… Sigh. Anyway, because Monday’s a drag, to flip it on it’s head it means for me, supper will be having something tasty and fun! Brighten up the day!

It’s been blooming freezing over here in Harrogate this week so a taste of the exotic was what my taste buds were craving.

This morning I picked up from the fishmonger some juicy king prawns. I haven’t had prawns for a while so decided that I should make the most of them and get creative in the kitchen! These coconut prawns are delicious; I am sat here tempted to eat my husband’s portion!

Coconut Prawns

You will need:-

400g king prawns

1 cup of desiccated coconut

1/2 cup of almonds/ other nuts blitzed in a food processor

1 teaspoon of chilli flakes

1 egg

Method

Mix together the dry ingredients and place in a bowl. Whisk the egg. Dip the prawns into the egg, then into the coconut mixture. Add to a hot pan with coconut oil or butter and fry for 2/3 minutes each side.

Avocado Salsa

For the avocado salsa, I simply added 1 mashed avocado to a bowl with chopped radish, shredded sprouts, lime juice, and chopped cucumber. I then mixed these together.

Kick Ass Tomato and Chilli Sauce

For the Kick Ass Sauce I added to a pan, 1/2 tin of tinned tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. I simmered for around 15-20 minutes and then blitzed with a soup blender, and chilled. This is a great replacement for ketchup!
