Prawn Pasta Salad

Prawn Pasta Salad is a delicious combination of prawns and pasta in a creamy mayonnaise based dressing. This Prawn Pasta salad can actually serve as a meal to pasta lovers. I typically have it as sides along with some garlic bread.

Salads and particularly Cold Salads frequent my dinner table during the hot summer months. Being sea-fod lovers, this prawn pasta salad is a favorite at my place. Some other salads that I make often are Russian Salad, Sweet Potato Salad, Chicken Pineapple Salad and many more.

Below is the recipe for making this simple and delicious prawn pasta salad.

Ingredients:
Pasta : 1/2 cup (boiled as per packet instructions)
Prawns : 1/4 cup (boiled)
Mayonnaise : 3 tbsp
Lettuce Leaves : 2-3 (cleaned well)
Capsicum : 2-3 tbsp (chopped as small cubes) (optional)
Lemon Juice : 1-2 tsp
Pepper : 1/4 tsp
Salt : as per taste

Method of Preparation:

1. Add mayonnaise, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a large bowl and mix well.
2. Add pasta, prawns and capsicume to the mayonnaise and mix gently. The pasta and prawns should be coated uniformly with the mayonnaise.
3. Spread the lettuce leaves on a serving plate and transfer the salad on the leaves. Refrigerate for atleast 30 min. This prawn pasta salad tastes best when served cold.

Note : You can keep the prawns whole or cut them into two as I have done. I typically keep them whole if I am using the smaller prawns.
