Tips for Making Cajun Potato, Prawn/Shrimp, and Avocado Salad:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, hold their shape well when cooked and are less likely to fall apart in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes perfectly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, then drain and cool them completely before adding them to the salad.
  • Use fresh, high-quality seafood: Prawns or shrimp should be cooked until they are just opaque and pink, then peeled and deveined.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing for this salad is made with a combination of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Cajun seasoning. Be sure to taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Don't skimp on the avocado: Avocado adds a creamy, rich flavor to the salad. Use ripe avocados that are free of brown spots.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the dressing and salad components separately and assemble just before serving.

Conclusion:
