Ingredients

  1. 300g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
  2. 1 small pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into slices
  3. 1 ripe avocado, diced
  4. 1 small red onion, finely sliced
  5. 1 red chilli, finely chopped (optional)
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
  7. Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
  8. Salt and pepper, to taste
  9. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  10. 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
  11. 1 tablespoon honey
  12. 1 garlic clove, minced
  13. ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  14. Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pineapple slices for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until nicely charred. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Lightly coat the raw prawns with the 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for approximately 2–3 minutes per side, or until the prawns are cooked through and opaque. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a food processor, combine the 3 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, cumin and optional chilli. Blend until well combined and nearly smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  4. Arrange the grilled pineapple, cooked prawns, avocado and sliced red onion on a serving platter. Drizzle over the prepared dressing, garnish with fresh coriander and serve.

Chef's Tip

Prawns work beautifully in fresh tropical salads because their natural sweetness pairs perfectly with charred pineapple, creamy avocado, and bright lime dressing. Grilling the pineapple adds smoky caramelised flavour that balances the freshness of the seafood, while coriander, chilli, and cumin bring warmth and vibrancy to the dish. Keeping the salad light and fresh allows the prawns to remain the hero while delivering a perfect balance of sweet, savoury, and citrus flavours.
