Guacamole with prawns

• 1-2 avocados (ripe avocados are recommended) or Caña Nature guacamole
• 10 prawns
• 1/2 onion (if you are going to make the guacamole)
• 1 tomato (if you are making the guacamole yourself)
• 1/2 lemon, 1 lime or lime juice
• Cilantro
• Ginger
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Toast or nachos

Step 1

Ideally, start by preparing the prawns. Peel them and place them in a bowl with a little salt, olive oil, lemon or lime juice, chopped coriander and, if you like, half a tablespoon of ginger. You can leave them to marinate while you prepare the guacamole or, if you already have it ready, set the prawns aside to use when needed. In about 10 minutes you can have the prawns ready, but if you prefer them more browned you can leave them for up to about 15 minutes on a low heat.

Step 2

If you choose the Caña Nature guacamole, you can skip this step and go directly to the preparation of the presentation dish. If you have to make the guacamole yourself, take the avocado, peel it and remove the stone. Cut the avocado into as small pieces as possible and place them in a bowl. Take the tomato and onion and follow the same steps. Peel everything and cut it into very small pieces, and place them in the same bowl as the avocado. Mix all the ingredients together, mashing them with a fork and stirring. With the lemon or lime juice, coriander, salt and oil, you will get the perfect flavour for the guacamole just the way you like it. You can also add ginger or even some tabasco if you like a spicy taste.

Step 3

When you have achieved the ideal texture for the guacamole, you can pour it into the serving bowl. There is no need to add any other ingredients at this stage, as the complementary ingredient for this recipe, the prawns, is missing.

Step 4

Take the marinated prawns and skewer them two at a time with a toothpick as if they were a small skewer. You can do it one at a time, but the effect is not the same.

Step 5

Place each “skewer” of marinated prawns in the bowl of guacamole, so that it surrounds the whole mixture. 10 prawns will give you 5 skewers, but of course you can make as many as you like.

Step 6

Your prawn guacamole recipe is ready! The best thing to do is to pick up each pair of prawns with a toothpick and spread them with guacamole, to get that perfect combination of flavours. With nachos or tostadas, you can use the leftover guacamole and serve it with this dish, which is very easy to prepare and ideal for sharing.
