Tips:

Use Fresh Avocado: Always choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft when pressed. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture in your dishes.
Peel and Slice Avocado Correctly: To easily peel an avocado, cut it lengthwise around the seed. Then, twist the two halves apart and remove the seed. To slice the avocado, make lengthwise cuts, then rotate it 90 degrees and make crosswise cuts to create diced avocado.
Prevent Avocado from Browning: To prevent avocado from browning, sprinkle it with lemon or lime juice, or toss it with a mixture of olive oil and salt. You can also store avocado slices in a container with water or in an airtight container with a damp paper towel.
Use High-Quality Prawns: Opt for fresh, wild-caught prawns whenever possible. They have a sweeter and more delicate flavor compared to farmed prawns.
Cook Prawns Properly: To avoid overcooking and toughening the prawns, cook them quickly over high heat. Use a non-stick pan to prevent them from sticking and use a spatula to flip them gently.
Add Flavorful Ingredients: Experiment with different flavors to complement the avocado and prawns. Common ingredients include garlic, chili, ginger, lemon, lime, cilantro, and various spices.

Avocado and prawn dishes are a delicious and versatile combination that can be enjoyed in many forms. From refreshing salads and creamy dips to flavorful stir-fries and tacos, the possibilities are endless. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create mouthwatering dishes that showcase the natural flavors of avocado and prawns.
