Chilli-Rubbed Prawns with Avocado Corn Cocktail

This vibrant recipe for chilli-rubbed prawns with avocado corn cocktail offers a sophisticated twist on a classic seafood starter. The jumbo prawns are coated in a smoky blend of ancho chilli, coriander, and cumin before being grilled to perfection. Served alongside a bright, zesty avocado and sweetcorn salsa, the dish provides a beautiful balance of heat and creamy freshness. It is a fantastic option for those seeking a light yet satisfying dish that doesn't compromise on bold, savoury flavours.

As a heart-healthy choice, this recipe prioritises lean protein and fresh, whole ingredients. The healthy fats found in the avocado complement the spice-rubbed prawns beautifully, making it an excellent appetiser for a dinner party or a nutritious weekend lunch. You can serve the prawns warm straight from the griddle pan for a contrast in temperatures, or prepare them in advance and serve chilled for a refreshing summer treat.

How to make Chilli-Rubbed Prawns with Avocado Corn Cocktail

  1. Rinse the prawns under cold running water, then blot them dry with paper towels.

  2. Place the chilli powder, garlic salt, coriander, oregano, cumin, and pepper in a mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Add the prawns and toss to coat. Stir in the olive oil. Let the prawns marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  3. Cook the prawns, following the instructions below for any of the grills, until just cooked through. When done the prawns will turn pinkish white and will feel firm to the touch.

  4. Spoon the Avocado and Corn Salsa into 4 large martini glasses or serving bowls. Drape 4 of the hot prawns over the edge of each glass or bowl and serve at once. Or for a cold prawns cocktail, let the cooked prawns cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the prawns, covered, until they are chilled before serving them with the salsa. The cooked prawns can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Preheat the grill; if your contact grill has a temperature control, preheat the grill to high. Place the drip pan under the front of the grill. When ready to cook, lightly oil the grill surface. Place the marinated prawns on the hot grill, then close the lid. The prawns will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes.

Place the grill pan on the stove and preheat it to high over medium heat. When the grill pan is hot a drop of water will skitter in the pan. When ready to cook, lightly oil the ridges of the grill pan. Place the marinated prawns in the hot grill pan. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.

Preheat the grill to high, then, if it does not have a nonstick surface, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the marinated prawns on the hot grate. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.

Preheat the grill to high; there's no need to oil the grate. Place the marinated prawns on the hot grill. They will be done after cooking 2 to 4 minutes per side.
