Ingredients
1-3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce – according to taste
Juice of 1 lime
2 tsp Thai fish sauce
Handful chopped fresh mint leaves
200g cooked prawns
1 carrot, peeled and ribboned (you can use a peeler to do this)
1 cucumber, peeled and ribboned (you can use a peeler to do this)
2 spring onions, finely sliced
50g peanuts, toasted (by frying without oil until they start to brown)
Handful fresh coriander leaves
Mix together the sweet chilli sauce, juice of 1 lime, fish sauce and the chopped mint leaves. Add the prawns, mix well, cover with clingfilm and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 10 minutes, but 30 minutes if you have the time to spare. Put all the other ingredients in a large bowl and toss well. Add the prawns and marinade, stir well and serve.
