- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced

Directions
Step 1
Start by marinating the prawns. In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, coconut aminos, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, prepare the cocktail base by combining the diced avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and chopped parsley in a separate bowl.
Step 4
After marination, heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the marinated prawns to the pan and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Step 5
Remove the prawns from the pan and let them cool slightly.
Step 6
To assemble the prawn cocktail, place a couple of lettuce leaves on each serving plate. Spoon the avocado, tomato, and cucumber mixture onto the lettuce.
Step 7
Top with the cooked prawns and garnish each serving with a wedge of lemon.

Serve immediately for a fresh and delightful appetizer.
