Shrimp sALAD

200 g of cocktail shrimp

100 g of cherry tomatoes

4 cloves of garlic

50 g Rocket

1 chilli pepper

1/2 of any lettuce

2 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of white wine

1 avocado

If you are using frozen prawns, take them out of the freezer overnight or defrost them under a stream of water at room temperature. Rinse the prawns, dry them and tear off the tails

Cut the garlic and chili into small slices, fry in melted butter until golden brown

Add the cleaned prawns to the pan and fry for a while over medium heat, make sure they are fully cooked. Season with salt

. Add lemon juice and wine to the contents of the pan, and remove them from the heat.

. Tear rocket and lettuce into smaller pieces, cut avocado into thin strips, cut tomatoes in half

When the contents of the pan cools down, pour the prepared salad in with the prawns and the sauce

this simple Polish starter is a salad that goes very well with melon.

If you are really interested in making it look special you could hollow out an avocado and put the salad in their instead of using a bowl
