Italian Prawn Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

   Tip: To prevent excess moisture from affecting the salad's texture.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

   Tip: Use a medium-low heat to prevent the prawns from cooking too quickly.

3. 3

   Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

   Tip: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. 4

   Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.

   Tip: Do not overcook the prawns.

5. 5

   Add the white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.

   Tip: The acidity from the vinegar will help to balance the flavors.

6. 6

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked prawns, mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh basil.

   Tip: Gently fold the ingredients together to avoid bruising the vegetables.

7. 7

   Drizzle the lemon juice over the salad and toss to combine.

   Tip: The acidity from the lemon will help to brighten the flavors.
