Ingredients and Kitchen Tools Needed
This is a quick summary of the ingredients and method, for those who prefer to read about the recipe in the post. A printable recipe card is provided at the end of this post.
You will require ingredients:
- avocado and cold water prawns (peeled, pre-boiled with no tails).
- creamy spicy dressing - paleo or whole 30 approved mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, chili powder, minced garlic clove, juice of ¼ of a lemon, chopped fresh dill, and some water to thin out the dressing, as required.
You will need the following kitchen tools:
- A chef's knife - to cut the avocado
- A chopping board - comes in handy, especially if one doesn't have great knife skills, like me
- Mixing bowl - one to whip up the creamy dressing as well as prepare the filling
- Salad dressing container - for serving the sauce
- A whisk - to mix everything together
How to Make
Make the sauce: Whisk all the ingredients except the water and dill in a bowl. If the sauce is too thick, thin it out by slowly adding water, one tablespoon at a time until the desired thickness is attained. Add the dill, mix then set the sauce aside on a serving container and proceed to work on the avocado.
Prepare the avocado: Scoop a bit of flesh from the avocados, about two tablespoons worth from each avocado and set aside on a plate. Next, add the scooped avocado flesh to a bowl and press with a fork. Add the prawns and half of the sauce to the bowl with the scooped-out avocado flesh and mix. Scoop the avocado and prawn-sauce mix into the boats to serve. Drizzle as much of the remaining sauce on top and serve.

- It is advisable to freeze avocados when ripe. To freeze an avocado whole, cut it lengthwise and remove the pit. Drizzle lemon juice on top and wrap with clingfilm or keep in airtight containers then store in the freezer.

- Frozen avocado will keep good in the freezer for approximately 8 months.To unfreeze, simply keep the container with the avocados over a warm water bath over the countertop. How long the avocados take to thaw will depend on how warm your kitchen is.
- The sauce in this recipe will keep in the fridge when stored in an airtight container, for up to 5 days.
