Prawns in Bacon with Mango and Avocado Salad

Prawns: Combine the garlic, ginger and both oils in a bowl and toss through the prawns. Wrap each prawn in bacon, leaving just the tail uncovered. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Dressing: Whisk the olive oil, garlic, lime zest and juice and chilli together in a bowl and stir in the capsicum and spring onions. Season. Add the basil and diced avocado just before serving.

To finish: Peel the mango and slice each cheek from either side of the stone. Cut off the remaining flesh, dice and add to the dressing. Cut the cheeks into long thin slices.

Lay the mango, in overlapping slices, on serving plates.

Heat a sauté pan with a little olive oil and cook the prawns 1-2 minutes each side, depending on their size. Drain on kitchen towels.

Arrange 2 prawns in the centre of the sliced mango and spoon over some of the salsa. Place a small bunch of watercress on top then another two prawns and a little more salsa. Serves 6

Scallops wrapped in bacon can be used in place of the prawns
