Step 1: You will need

  • 16 king prawns
  • 350 g sweet corn
  • 6 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 bunch of baby spinach
  • 1 tbsp basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp coriander, chopped
  • 30 g butter
  • 40 ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 sieve
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 tray
  • 1 bowl
  • scissors

Step 2: Cook the potatoes

Put the potatoes into the saucepan, cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes.

Once cooked, pour them into the sieve and leave to cool.

Step 3: Prepare the prawns

Use the scissors to cut the shell. Starting from just behind the back of the head, insert the scissors and carefully cut down to the tail.

Peel the shell off, but be careful to leave the head on. Now, remove the vein that runs along the back.

Place the peeled prawns onto a tray.

Step 4: Fry the potatoes

Put the frying pan on a medium to high heat, add half of the oil and half the butter. When hot, add the potatoes and fry for 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Then add the celery, season with salt and pepper and fry for 5 minutes stirring again.

When cooked, put onto the tray.

Step 5: Cook the prawns and corn

Put the rest of the butter and the oil into a frying pan. When hot, add the prawns and cook for 1 minute, then turn over and add the sweet corn. Season with salt, add the sugar and cayenne pepper, mix together well and cook for 30 seconds.

Remove from the heat.

Step 6: Finish the shrimp salad

Take a bowl and place the prawn and sweet corn, potato and celery, basil, coriander and spinach into it and gently mix together.

Pile on a serving plate and enjoy this spicy corn and shrimp salad!
