Lime wedges

Preparation

Arrange the lettuce leaves around the bowls then top with the diced avocado and prawns. Sprinkle with the coriander and serve with lime wedges.

Expert Tips

Opt for avocados that are ripe but firm. They will cut more easily than super soft ones, and they'll look prettier on the platter too.
If desired, serve your prawn cocktail "up" in individual martini or Margarita glasses. Spoon some of the mayonnaise mixture and a bit of salsa in each glass, then decoratively arrange the lettuce leaves, avocado, prawns and lime on top. Sprinkle with the fresh coriander and enjoy.
