This balsamic ginger prawn salad has a lot of flavor and is very easy to make. The prawns are marinated in fresh grated ginger, orange juice and garlic. Quickly cooked and added to a fresh mixed green salad with a tasty balsamic dressing. Red grape tomatoes and thin slices of radish add a pop of color and a nice crunch. Your prawns are cooked perfectly as they begin to form the letter C and start to turn orange. Take them off the heat and they will finish cooking, that way you won’t have over done shrimp!
