So one of the simply amazing things about living in the tropics is how fresh and stunning the seafood is. I am telling you it is fantastic. I am talking so fresh. Smells like the sea, tastes like the sea and just mouth watering. Photos cannot do this amazing seafood the justice it deserves.But I tried. I wanted to do something special and something just decadent with it. This is what I came up with and wow, it is so good.
Chopper my personal barman whipped up this lovely drink for me while I was cooking. Melon Schnapps with Lemonade and a piece of a Tahitian lime. So refreshing.
Look at how lovely these bugs are. So sweet and juicy.
What you need for the salad.
- The flesh of 2 Mangoes diced pieces
- The flesh of 2 Avocados diced pieces
- 1 Hot Chilli seeded & chopped
- 2 Moreton Bay Bugs cleaned & chopped into bite sized pieces
- 500 grams of fresh cooked Prawns peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 scoop of roasted & salted Macadamias
- Juice of half a Tahitian Lime
For the dressing.
- Half a cup of good quality Olive Oil
- Quarter a cup of White Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon of Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons of White Sugar
Put all of the dressing ingredients into a microwave safe jug and place in the microwave for 30 seconds on high. Give it a good whisk and place in the fridge or freezer until it is ice cold. Give it a quick whisk just before adding to the salad ingredients. Mix desired amount of dressing with all the salad ingredients and serve. It's that easy. Serves 4 and your in heaven. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have :)
