King Prawn Salad with Chives and Red Onion
This prawn salad has meaty prawns, chives and red onion and is covered in mayonnaise. The dish is so simple and quick to whip up and it makes an awesome side for barbecues or is great between two thick slices of bread.
Ingredients
- mayonnaise (see note 2)
- 1 tbs fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 red onion (medium)
- juice of half a lemon
- pepper and salt (to taste)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika powder
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 250g (9 oz) king prawns (see note 1)
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients (apart from the prawns) together.
- Chop the prawns into small pieces.
- Stir the prawns through the sauce.
- Keep in the fridge for a couple of hours to allow the flavours to develop.
- Serve as a side, topping for baked potato, or sandwich filling.
Notes
- Any kind of prawns or shrimp would work.
- Use as much (or as little) mayo as you like. I used around 5 tablespoons.
