Add 1 tablespoon of lime-flavored honey to the dressing mixture.

6

If desired, include a whole bird's eye chili for heat, or adjust according to taste.

7

Pound the dressing ingredients until smooth, using a food processor if necessary.

8

Mix the lime juice with the garlic to help cook out the garlic flavor before adding other ingredients.

9

Adjust the sweetness and saltiness of the dressing by adding more honey or lime juice as preferred.

Use pre-cooked and peeled prawns, dressing the salad just before serving.
