Instructions
Prepare the prawns by rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the prawns, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat the prawns evenly.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
While the prawns cool, prepare the salad by combining the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, red onion, and parsley in a large serving bowl. Toss gently to mix.
Make the citrus dressing by whisking together lime juice, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup (if desired), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is lightly coated.
Top the salad with the cooked prawns and serve immediately. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Zesty Prawn Salad!
