Grilled Tumeric & Ginger Prawns, Lime, Avocado & Gem Lettuce

This is a super colourful starter that can be prepared ahead of service, helping you save time when your guests arrive. It works well as both a shared dish, served in the middle of the table for guests to dig into, or plated up in individually.
