Ingredients

• 250 grams Prawns (raw, peeled, deveined)
• 1 large Avocado
• 12 leaves Butter lettuce leaves
• 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 small Red onion (finely diced)
• 1 large Lime (juiced)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the tomato jam. Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, honey, half of the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, toss the prawns with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned prawns in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

While the prawns cool, prepare the avocado. Dice the avocado into small cubes and toss with lime juice to prevent browning.

Step 6

Carefully separate and rinse the butter lettuce leaves, patting them dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

Step 7

Assemble the lettuce cups by laying out the butter lettuce leaves and adding a scoop of diced avocado to each leaf.

Step 8

Top the avocado with 3-4 cooked prawns per lettuce cup.

Step 9

Finish by adding a dollop of the tomato jam on top of the prawns and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a fresh, vibrant appetizer or light meal.
