As the worst of the E.coli out break is over, and the cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce were given an official all-clear by German authorities. Finally I can buy again what my appetite tells me and enjoy without worrying about the salads.
A delicious combination of pan seared herbs-marinated prawns, fruit and vegetable. It's perfect as an appetizer or a light dinner on its own. If possible try to cook the prawns with the shell intact, as this will keep their flavour and helps in reserving the moisture.
| Herb Marinade | |

- Combine mustard, white wine, and herbs in a pan. Cook the mixture over lower-medium heat until the wine has almost been absorbed, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in pressed garlic, season with salt and pepper. Finally stir in olive oil and mix until well blended. Add the prawns to the marinade and mix well. Cover with a cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- In a pan, heat the oil over high heat until hot. Add in prawns and cook until they have turned pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Mound the salad on two plates. Add avocado slices, carrot shreds, tomato wedges, onion rings and the prawns. Drizzle the salad with a bit of balsamic cream and serve with lime wedges if desired.

This is a fabulous dish. The prawns are cooked to perfection!
A delightful slad! What colors and flavors.

Angie, Yum..you always made my favorite "prawns" & "salad" :)
What a fantastic salad! I like that you've left the shells on. I like the toasty taste the shell gives when they've been fried.
I love the prawns with shells on, they keep their taste... boiled or fried. Lovely dish and Beautiful pics! Have a lovely week Angie! Mei
This looks gorgeous and totally appetising, Angie! Prawn with avocado...I wouldn't be able to resist this!
What a gorgeous salad, I love every component, from the dressing to the crispy onion rings.
What a nightmare that e. coli outbreak was. Yikes! Glad you can go back to eating the foods you love!
Healthy & colourful salad. Lovely presentation.

Fantastic summer salad ..... shrimps and avocado perfect combo!
This salad looks phenomenal and those prawns are just gorgeous =)
The germ scare must have been worrying, so glad it's over now. This salad is the perfect way to eat those luscious prawns and lovely marinade.
Another gorgeous salad, Angie! I so wish I had all the makings for that so I could bring that for my lunch today... it sure would make facing work a little easier :)
Gorgeous salad! Glad they figured it out, very scary.
What a refreshing and beautiful salad! Prawns are so nicely done, I can almost taste it here.
Prawn & Avocado combine on a salad! YUM! ;)
Those prawns looks perfectly succulent!
We have been reading about the E.coli outbreak in the newspapers here. Very frightening. I'm so glad you can buy fresh lettuce and tomatoes again without concern.
What a wonderful salad to help celebrate the 'all-clear'!
Delicious ~ I adore avocados in salads!

Glad that you can enjoy this gorgeous salad again. Looks so flavourful and colourful! ;)
nice clicks..refreshingly yummy salad
Beautiful salad Angie as usual. The colour, presentation and flavours are wonderful.
Now that's my kind of salad, Angie. And onion rings besides!
Everytime there's a bacteria outbreak somewhere...it only increases my beliefs that we can never be careful enough. I've made it a habit to wash all vegetables in a basin of salt, white vinegar and water. It may not be 100% guaranteed, however, it does make me feel just a little safer to keep enjoying my favourites.
Angie, It's nice to be back for my visits...once more you've prepared a very appetizing dish ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia
Seriously i want to finish that plate, soo tempting!
So happy for you that the e-coli nightmare is coming to an end and that you can finally enjoy your beloved raw veggies once again. I'm printing your recipe as I type as this is what I would like for my dinner tonight, thanks Angie:-)
What a beautiful salad, good for you that everything has been cleared. You get to eat this healthy, meal, and enjoy raw veggies again
This is such a lovely salad! Full of delicious flavors and contrasting textures...sure to be a favorite!
What a fabulous salad. Thanks for the tip on cooking the shrimp in their shells. I rarely do that and never thought about the flavor I was losing. Do you de-shell it for serving though so the vein is out? Just curious. Thanks.
Such a colorful and delicious looking salad. Great marinade. I love the addition of crispy onion rings. Can't ever go wrong with some fried goodness. :)
Simply elegant to serve and delish~
What a great way to celebrate! Lovely salad!
Glad the outbreak scare is over. Your salad looks divine! What a summer treat!
beautiful looking salad Angie
Wow! A beautiful plate of prawn salad! Two plates for me please!
Angie! These are beautiful and I imagine so delicious! Your photography is just amazing! : )
What a gorgeous and delicious salad! I want some of this now.
I'm so glad the e-coli scare is over.
So glad you are able to get greens again, this salad looks so good. I love all the yummy things you put on top. Always great looking food over here. Hope you have a great week.

You must be relieved that the e. coli outbreak is over. Your salad with the succulent prawns look so inviting!
Thank goodness , you can eat a fresh salad :) This looks like a nice refreshing way to celebrate :)
This is indeed yummilicious and as always can't help drooling over the pics!
I'm so glad you're allowed to eat again! This prawn salad looks absolutely delicious!
Pictures are great! I am sure it tasted even better. Never thought about searing them in their shell but you are right, it must have kept it more flavorful. I need to start eating more salads!

Hi Angie,
thank you for sharing this beautiful and incredibly flavor-filled salad on last week's Fresh Food Friday/Seasonal Saturday. I was delighted to feature it today in this week's edition of Fresh Food Friday and hope that you can stop by and share another great recipe of yours!
I like your technique for marinating and cooking the prawns; this salad would be my favorite.
Prawns...mmm...love it! This plate will be in my tummy within minutes :D
Love the colours and the flavours sound amazing too. Bookmarked this one for later use :)
I did it tonight... was fantastic !!! The combination of ingredients was simply awesome... and I promise not to say I substituted this for that and used this instead of the other.... I just stuck with what I was told and it was bloody lovely ! (use other stuff and it's a different recipe - post that recipe yourselves!)
Thank you for this !

Prawns and avocado, I have both of these in my refrigerator. I know what I will be making for lunch tomorrow. This looks wonderful!
