For the Salad
  • 1 pound black tiger prawns A lean protein source; swap with jumbo shrimp for a variation.
  • 4 cups baby arugula Offers peppery crunch; easily replace with spinach, romaine, or mixed greens.

  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot Provides mild sweetness; substitute with finely chopped onion if needed.
For the Vinaigrette
