Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Choose Fresh Seafood: For the best results, use fresh prawns or shrimp. If you don't have access to fresh seafood, frozen prawns or shrimp can also be used.
  • Cook the Seafood Properly: Prawns or shrimp should be cooked quickly over high heat to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: A good quality olive oil will add flavor and richness to the salad. If you don't have olive oil, you can use another type of light oil, such as grapeseed oil or canola oil.
  • Season the Salad to Taste: Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as Cajun seasoning, paprika, or chili powder.
