Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 cups (2.0 oz / 57g) Mixed Greens mixed lettuce greens
  • 8.0 oz (225g) Prawns tiger prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 0.25 cup (2.0 oz / 57g) Aioli aioli
  • 1.0 tbsp (0.5 oz / 14g) Olive Oil olive oil
  • 1.0 tbsp (0.5 oz / 15g) Lemon Juice freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp (0.1 oz / 3g) Mustard Dijon mustard
  • 0.1 oz Seasoning (3g) sea salt and chili pepper blend
  • Watch the Clock: Prawns cook incredibly fast. Stick to the 3-minute rule per side on medium heat. The moment they turn pink and form a slight C shape, remove them from the pan so they remain juicy and tender.
  • Dress Right Before Serving: Never dress your mixed lettuce greens in advance. Toss the salad with the dressing immediately before plating to maintain the crisp, refreshing crunch of the lettuce.

Method
 

  1. Season the 8. 0 oz (225g) tiger prawns evenly with the 0. 1 oz (3g) salt and chili pepper blend.
  2. Heat the 1. 0 tbsp. (0. 5 oz / 14g) olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the prawns, and fry for exactly 3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque, then set them aside to cool slightly.
  3. Combine the 0. 25 cup (2. 0 oz / 57g) aioli, 1. 0 tbsp. (0. 5 oz / 15g) lemon juice, and 0. 5 tsp. (0. 1 oz / 3g) Dijon mustard in a small mixing bowl.
  4. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Place the 2. 0 cups (2. 0 oz / 57g) mixed lettuce greens into a large serving bowl.
  6. Pour exactly half of the prepared creamy lemon dijon dressing over the greens and toss gently with two spoons until the leaves are evenly coated.
  7. Divide the dressed mixed greens evenly among 3 plates.
  8. Top each plate with the cooked tiger prawns, drizzle the remaining dressing over the top, and serve immediately.
  9. Pat the Prawns Dry: Before seasoning your tiger prawns, use a paper towel to pat them completely dry. This prevents steaming in the pan and ensures you get a beautiful, flavorful sear.
  10. Whisk the Dressing Vigorously: To get the best texture out of your lemon dijon dressing, whisk the aioli, lemon juice, and mustard vigorously until completely emulsified. This keeps the dressing from separating and coats the mixed greens perfectly.
