Ingredients

1.7 kilograms (3½lb) uncooked large king prawns (shrimp), halved lengthways with veins removed (see tips)

2 baby fennel bulbs (260g), trimmed, sliced thinly (see tips)

250 grams (8oz) baby cucumbers (qukes), sliced into ribbons

6 watermelon radishes (210g), sliced thinly (see tips)

1/4 cup fresh baby coriander (cilantro)

Chilli-lime dressing

1/3 cup (80ml) lime juice

1/3 cup (80ml) lemon juice

1/2 cup (125ml) olive oil

2 clove garlic, crushed

2 teaspoon caster (superfine) sugar

2 teaspoon sea salt flakes

1 fresh long green chilli, sliced thinly

Method

1.To make chilli lime dressing, combine ingredients in a small bowl.

2.Place prawns in a large bowl with half the dressing; toss to coat. Cook prawns on a heated barbecue (or grill plate or grill), until just changed in colour.

3.Place fennel, cucumber and radish in a medium bowl; toss gently to combine.

4.Serve prawns with salad, drizzled with remaining dressing and topped with coriander.

Use sharp kitchen scissors or a chef’s knife to halve the prawns; remove the vein (digestion tract).

Watermelon radishes are available from specialist greengrocers. If you can’t find them, use the regular red variety.

Use a mandoline or V-slicer to thinly slice the fennel and radishes.
