Step 3

Mix dressing: In a small separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise with lemon juice and paprika. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and season it with a little salt and pepper to taste.

Useful tips for seafood salad with prawns

Always use cold seafood for this recipe to keep it crisp and refreshing. If you want a bit more heat, you can add a small pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing. For a lighter version, you can swap half of the mayonnaise for plain Greek yoghurt. This Seafood Salad with Prawns is best eaten on the day it is made so the lettuce stays crunchy. If you need to make it ahead of time, keep the dressing separate until you are ready to eat. Adding some fresh dill or chives can provide an extra layer of flavour without much effort.

Can I freeze this Seafood Salad with Prawns?

It is not a good idea to freeze Seafood Salad with Prawns because the fresh vegetables and mayonnaise will lose their texture. The ingredients will become very watery once the salad has thawed.

What bread goes best with a prawn salad?

Crusty bread or a fresh baguette works very well with the creamy dressing. You can also serve the prawns and vegetables inside a soft roll or on top of a hot baked potato for a different meal.
