“What a deliciously interesting salad! I added curry powder and a squeeze of lime juice to regular mayonnaise and mixed in cooked prawns. Served over a simple bed of salad leaves, this filling meal needs nothing else other than chopped coriander and some seasoning. Simple and yummy!” – Monya

More on Curry Prawn Salad…

Curry powder, with its aromatic blend of spices, adds a captivating dimension to the salad. The prawns, with their delicate texture and briny sweetness, harmonize perfectly with the creamy mayo.

The curry powder also provides a myriad of health benefits. Turmeric, a key ingredient in curry powder, contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It complements the keto diet’s focus on reducing inflammation and improving overall well-being.
 
This salad is not just a treat for your taste buds, but also a nourishing choice for your body. Prawns are source of high-quality protein, and the mayo provides a dose of healthy fats. The salad’s low-carb nature makes it an ideal choice for those following the keto lifestyle.

Calories: 382kcal | Carbohydrates: 1.4g | Protein: 25g | Fat: 31g

Equipment

• kitchen scale
• universal measuring spoons
• sharp knife
• mixing bowl

Ingredients

• 330 g (11.6 oz) raw, peeled King prawns
• 15 g (0.5 oz) unsalted butter
• 60 g (2.1 oz) mayonnaise
• 1/4 tsp medium curry powder
• squeeze fresh lime
• 70 g (2.5 oz) mixed salad leaves
• 1 spring onion, sliced
• small handful coriander, finely chopped
• sliced red chilli, (optional)
• salt and pepper, (if needed)

Instructions

• Remove the prawns from their packaging and drain well. We don't want excessive moisture when we cook them. I like to lay them out on a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.
  
• Melt the butter in a large, non-stick pan and fry the prawns until they turn pink and are cooked through. Place them onto a plate lined with a clean sheet of kitchen paper to drain off excess grease. Set aside to cool.
  
• Mix the mayonnaise and curry powder in a bowl, then add a squeeze of lime juice.
  
• Add the cooled prawns to the bowl of spicy mayo and mix well to combine.
• Serve the salad with the spiced, creamy prawn mixture on top. Scatter over the spring onions, coriander and chillies. You may need additional salt and pepper seasoning. Enjoy with extra lime if you feel it needs it. Quick, easy, filling and super yummy!
