How to Make Wing Bean And Grilled Prawn Salad

  1. Prepare the prawns: Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact. Marinate in 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon lime juice for 15 minutes.
  2. Grill the prawns: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  3. Prepare the wing beans: Trim the ends of the wing beans and thinly slice them. Blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon palm sugar (adjust to taste), 1-2 finely chopped Thai chilies (or to taste, or omit), and 1 tablespoon water.
  5. Assemble the salad: Combine the blanched wing beans and grilled prawns in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
