We drove down to Victoria today to drop off at my son's apartment some of the chocolate Easter eggs and the Perogies that I made last week. We had a wonderful Dim Sum lunch in Chinatown and ate way too much. Rather than make a big dinner I made Moe the salad that he requested - Prawn and Avocado Salad. The same salad that my friend Lori made tonight. You can find the recipe on Lori's blog All that Splatters.
I bought frozen Spotted Prawns. The spotted prawn season is due to open again the second week of May. It is a short season and is usually finished by the end of June. I'm not a big fan of shrimp but I love the local spotted prawns.

ReplyDeleteI agree the prawn photo is terrific! I might have bought them just for that! Although I have had that salad and we love it.

this looks like a great light dinner for summer evenings on the back deck. Jason thanks you Ann!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is such a beautiful post Ann! I love how you've captured the light (but the food drew me in first!) :) Such beautiful presentation of fabulously fresh food.
ReplyDeletePssst...I'm so envious ~ BC has some of the best Dim Sum I've ever eaten (rivaling San Francisco, even.)
So true, Lori! You two ~ GMTA!!
I love spotted prawn season! I look forward to it all year long. Sad that the season is so short. They are beautiful and so, so tasty. And prawns and avocado are a fabulous combination. Beautiful photos!
