Ingredients

For the prawns:

• 1 kg of large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• Zest and juice of 2 large lemons
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

For the salad:

• 200 grams of mixed salad greens
• 200 grams of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, sliced thinly
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Add the prawns and toss to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours. Preheat your grill to high heat. Thread the prawns onto skewers, and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the prawns are pink and cooked through. While the prawns are grilling, prepare the salad.

In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. To serve, divide the salad among four plates and top each with a skewer of grilled prawns.
