Thai Style Grapefruit and Prawns

Super starter, sensually spicy.

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  2. 2 large grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
  3. 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  4. 1 large avocado, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
  5. 2 tablespoons lime juice
  6. 2 tablespoons thai fish sauce
  7. 1 fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped
  8. ⅛ teaspoon brown sugar
  9. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shrimp, and return to a boil. Cook the shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Combine the grapefruit, onion, avocado, lime juice, fish sauce, chile pepper, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Top grapefruit salad with cooked shrimp, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
