<Ingredients>
1 avocado
1/2 lime or small lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp wasabi
Potato starch (for cleaning prawns, not in photo)
Sake or white wine (for boiling prawns, not in photo)
<Directions>
1.
Clean prawns with potato starch, and boil with a small amount of sake or white wine.
When prawns turn pink, remove from boiling water and let cool.
2.
When prawns cool enough, cut into 1-2cm pieces.
Cut avocado into small cubes, and squeeze some lime/lemon juice.
3.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, wasabi and remaining lime/lemon juice.
Add avocado, and mix.
4.
Immediately before serving, add prawns, and mix.
<Notes>
- Adding sake or white wine to water used to cook prawns eliminates the fishy smell.
- Prawns can be microwaved instead of boiling. Sprinkle sake or white wine on cleaned prawns, and microwave without cover until their color changes. Make sure to check frequently (every 5-10 seconds after the first 15-20 seconds) and turn prawns for evenly cooked result.
- Add prawns at the last minute to prevent them from soaking in the salty dressing. Alternatively, dressing can be poured at the table.
- Lime makes the dish milder, while lemon is more acid and invigorating.
