SHRIMP AND RICE SALAD
This salad is popular in our community, where seafood of all kinds is readily available. It's great for summer picnics, but I serve it year-round. The shrimp, rice, olives, celery and hard-cooked eggs-with a mustard and mayonnaise dressing-make a nice combination.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest prawns possible. Fresh prawns should have a sweet smell and a firm texture. Avoid prawns that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Cook the prawns properly. Prawns are best cooked quickly over high heat. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.
- Use high-quality rice. The type of rice you use will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your salad. Look for a long-grain rice that is light and fluffy.
- Don't overcook the rice. Rice that is overcooked will be mushy and unpleasant to eat. Cook the rice according to the package directions, or until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your salad. Choose vegetables that are in season and at their peak of ripeness.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make prawn and rice salad. Feel free to adapt the recipe to your own taste preferences. Try adding different vegetables, herbs, or spices.
Conclusion:
Prawn and rice salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
