This is one of my all time favourite dips.
Whenever the girls come over for a movie session it's first on their list of requests (the second is anything featuring Ryan Gosling, but come on... he is a dream boat).
It's jam packed with flavour, but only has around 100 calories per serving.
The boys love it too because it's salty, spicy & tastes like something you'd have on a beach in Mexico. (The salsa, not Gosling.)
I serve mine with salted tortilla chips, margaritas & frosty Corona beers.
To make enough for 4 people, you'll need:
300grams (12oz) Cooked & peeled king prawns,
About 25 Fresh, plump cherry tomatoes,
1 Red onion,
3 heaped tbsp Jalapenos (or more if you like it firey),
1 handful Fresh coriander (cilantro),
Juice of 1 1/2 limes
Sprinkle of rock salt
Ok, now the directions for this recipe are pretty complex, so brace yourself...
Ready?
Chop the hell out of all your ingredients & sling 'em in a bowl!
I know, I know, nothing this easy can possibly taste good, right?
Oh ye of little faith!
The combination of these punchy, fresh, flavour filled ingredients (in just the right amounts) will blow your mind, trust me.
Great for a drinks party, nibbles before dinner or just a night in with a movie.
If you're feeling particularly jazzy, serve your dip in half a painted coconut shell like I did.
Now shake those maracas & shout Caliente! as you wiggle your way to your guests.
Spring break all year round!
Ps. If your hair's looking a little lack-lustre or you're having trouble with some of the cravings mentioned in my Anti-Diet, chop up an avocado & stir it in too. It'll make it a bit creamier & it's ridiculously good for you.

Salivating at my desk.... Looks incredible will be sure to try tonight xxx
ReplyDeleteI don't even like shrimp but want to eat this!
ReplyDeleteRandom question, have you ever been to Paris? I am going in April and want some amazing restaurants/places to visit and know you would know the best? Any help would be amazing :) thanks

I have indeed!
DeleteMake sure you go to laduree for macarons, hotel coste for lunch, collete for an amazing fashion experience, I quite like Le Coq for dinner (2 place du Trocadero) and if you're going clubbing - VIP is great fun!
Ahh I'm so jealous, have an amazing time! xxx
Thank you so much! I can't wait :)
Deletexxx
I can second the vote for Le Coq, the decor, food, and waiters are delicious in equal measure. If you order anything except the Coq au Vin you will have extreme food envy - but all the dishes are very good.
DeletePierre Herme macarons are incredible - their creator is called the 'Picasso of pastry' for a reason. I prefer them to Laduree.
Angelina's is on Rue de Rivoli right next to Jardin de Tuileries and has the best hot chocolate in the world (l'Africain), hands down - and comes with extra cream.
If you like art L'orangerie, D'orsay, marmottan, musee rodin.
Otherwise Le Marais has beautiful architecture and is brimming with little vintage clothing shops. There are some great Cafes in Le Marais for people watching. Set yourself up at breakfast time on the weekend with a street-facing table, un petit dej complet and some big sunglasses to soak it all in.
My only other advice is to invest in a metro pass but bring some cute ballet flats and a map and walk where possible - everytime I visit I always get lost and stumble upon a pretty secret garden or an amazing boulangerie.
Oh jeez... this is like a whole mexican meal with none of the guilt!
ReplyDeleteAMAZEBALLS.
I don't care if it's wrong, but this is what I will be having for dinner tonight. A whole portion, to myself. It must be ok because I'm pregnant. It looks INSANELY good, can't wait!!

As a girl who is on every diet i am very happy that you let us know about it.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try it ( if i do it right).
Thanks
Pico de Gallo mmmm, coriander is not cilantro....
ReplyDeleteCoriander IS cilantro... in countries outside of the states - in Australia it is the same thing, and coriander seed is the dried spice version. Perhaps do your research next time.
DeleteI really can't wait to try this! I'm still wondering how this can be healthy!? It looks so good.
ReplyDeleteHey Rosie, firstly I wanted to say what a great blog! :)
ReplyDeleteSecondly I used your recipe and made this - absolutely delicious! I can't wait to make it in summer and devour it by the beach with an icy cold cocktail!
Thanks!
