Directions

Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tail segment and its shell intact.
Whisk the remaining ingredients together and marinate the prawns for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. (The prawns will toughen if they marinate too long; be careful not to over marinate.) Skewer, if desired, to facilitate grilling. Grill or broil the prawns quickly, approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side, until they begin to turn pink. Be careful not to overcook -- prawns should remain slightly transparent in the middle. Divide the salsa among the plates and place the prawns on top. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and avocado slices. This recipe yields 4 servings.
