Ingredients

Servings 1
  • 190 g Shrimp
  • 120 g Cucumber
  • 70 g Carrot
  • 8 g Mint
  • ½ Lime
  • 1 tbsp Garlic-infused olive oil
  • 1 Thai chilies (optional)

Method

  1. Peel the carrot and cucumber into long ribbons, ring the chilli and pick the mint leaves off their stalks. Blot the prawns dry.
  2. Sear the prawns in half the garlic-infused oil over the highest flame, ninety seconds a side, until they curl tight and lose their grey.
  3. Tip the prawns onto a cold plate and leave them three minutes until they no longer feel hot — laid on the ribbons warm they would collapse them.
  4. Toss the ribbons with the lime juice, the chilli and the rest of the oil, lay the cooled prawns over and tear the mint across at the last moment.
