My husband has been working late lately so we celebrated a day ealier with home cooked dinner and on the actual day he had this and this.

This dish was one of the four dishes, excluding soup, I prepared for my husband for the birthday dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil or Olive Oil

Marinade:

• 1 teaspoon Light Soy Sauce
• a dash of pepper

Orange Vinaigrette:

• 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoon Orange Juice
• 1/2 tablespoon Apple Cider
• 2 teaspoon Lemon or Lime Juice
• a pinch of salt and sugar each

How to do it:

1. Arrange lettuce in bowl and set aside.
2. Marinate prawns briefly.
3. Saute with sesame seed oil or olive oil if you preferred, till just cooked.
4. Let the prawns cooled before putting in the bowl.
5. Add tomatoes.
6. Mix vinaigrette well and drizzle over salad.
7. Serve.

Note:

• Do not refrigerate cooked prawns as it will turn hard.
• You can prepare all the green and refrigerate it. Only cook the prawns when you are really to eat or serve.
• You can add any other greens you like, eg, bell pepper, cucumber, celery.
