Seafood can be simple, satisfying, and healthy, and doesn’t have to be something home cooks shy away from in the kitchen. Shrimp is an especially good dinner option, as it is the seafood that is arguably the most collectively enjoyed, and shrimp dishes can be as sophisticated or simple. This simple prawn salad takes a mere 30 minutes to pull together but looks fantastic and tastes delicious. It’s all down to the tasty Indian flavours of ajowan seeds, turmeric, garam masala and mango pickle. This is a lovely fresh, crunchy salad with a hint of spice.
