Ingredients
- 450 grams large prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, and lettuce mix)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium cucumber (sliced thinly)

Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, orange zest, and ground black pepper to form the zesty dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
Arrange the cooked prawns on top of the salad mixture.
Drizzle the zesty dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad as a garnish.
