In Mexico, this salad would form the fish course in a formal meal, but it is so good that you'll want to serve it on all sorts of occasions. It is perfect for a buffet lunch or summer meal.

Ingredientes

Direcciones
- Place the prawns in a large bowl, add the lime juice and salt and pepper. Toss lightly, then leave to marinate.
- Cut a cross in the base of each tomato. Place them in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water to cover.
- After 3 minutes, lift the tomatoes out on a slotted spoon and plunge them into a bowl of ice water; drain. The skins will have begun to peel back easily from the crosses.
- Skin the tomatoes completely, then cut them in half and squeeze out the seeds. Chop the flesh into 1/2 inch cubes and add to the prawns.
- Mix the hot chili sauce, sugar and sour cream in a small bowl. Fold into the prawn mixture. Cover and chill for at least an hour.
- Just Before Serving: Cut the avocados in half, remove the skin and seed, then slice the flesh into 1/2 inch chunks; add to prawn mixture.
- Line a bowl with the lettuce leaves, then top with the prawn mixture. Then garnish with fresh basil and strips of scallion. Crusty bread make a perfect accompaniment.
- Cook's Tip: If you cannot find Gem Lettuce, substitute for your favorite. As pictured, I used fried corn tortillas to serve this salad.
