Prawn salad on bed of cheesy vegetables

Chilled Prawn Salad with Cheesy Vegetables

Posted on December 28, 2009December 28, 2022 by PatriCa BB 雪冰
Prawn salad on bed of cheesy vegetables

“Something easy and healthy you will like to cook at home“

I promised, to share my recipes for the delicious homecooked western cuisine.

I will start with the appetizer first. This considers a cold dish as I’ve served the prawns chilled, and this idea was adapted from the first dish, the cold platter, which commonly served in some occasions/ events e.g wedding banquet dinner or something like that.. And this chilled prawns are usually served with fruits salad. So, I was inspired to came out with the vegetable version, hoping to create a slightly more balanced diet.

You may also add more types of vegetables, for instances, peas, asparagus, Cauliflower and etc, to make a vegetable medley. Sound good (winking smile)?

My Wok Life Cooking Blog - Chilled Prawn Salad with Cheesy Vegetables -Ingredients
8 medium prawns, shelled with or without tail intact, deveined, and halved or just cut a deep slit lengthwise
1 small cup of broccoli florets, washed and trimmed
1 small cup of carrots, peeled and diced in chunks
1 tablespoon of Parmesan or Edam cheese, finely grated
Just sprinkle of salt and grounded black pepper
1 teaspoon of olive oil

Topping/ Dressing:
Mayonnaise as dressing
1 – 2 teaspoons of finely grated Parmesan or Edem cheese as toppings

For blanching use:
1 pot of water
Pinch of salt and sugar
1 pot of iced water

Method
1) Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add salt and sugar to dissolve in the boiling water.

2) Blanch broccoli florets and carrots till 90% cooked. Use a strainer to transfer the vegetables out from the boiling water, and plunge into iced water for 10 seconds. Then, return the same to the boiling water for another few seconds. Dish up the vegetables and place on a serving dish. Set aside for later.

3) Use the same pot of boiling water, now, blanch the prawns till pinked. Drain, and place the prawns in the refrigerator to chill for about 20 minutes. For fast chilled, place into the iced water for few minutes.

4) Heat frying skillet/ pan with olive oil over high heat. Return the broccoli and carrots into the pan for a quick stir-fry, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle salt and black pepper and stir fry to mix well, before heat off. Then, sprinkle and melt grated cheese on top of the vegetables. Dish up and plate on a nice serving dish.

5) Before serve, top vegetable with more grated cheese. Then, arrange chilled prawns on top of the bed of cheesy vegetables, and top with mayonnaise dressing. Serve.

My Wok Life Cooking Blog - Chilled Prawn Salad with Cheesy Vegetables -

A portion of cold salad prawn with cheesy vegetables dish counts about 230kcal.

Tips: Use Dutch Edam cheese for milder and nutty cheese taste while Italian Parmesan yields more cheesy with slight buttery taste which is good as topping.
*Remove broccoli first from the blanching, once it is almost done as carrots take longer time to get soften. Do not over-boiled the vegetables. The broccoli should not appear too soft and too dark in its greenish colour. Plunge into iced water is to retain its crunchiness.
* If you like, toss to coat the prawns with mayonnaise instead of topping it, before placing on the vegetables.
