I adapted this recipe from Skinny Taste (being a 'skinny' blog I don't understand why she didn't use nonfat plain yogurt instead of mayo). A big tub of cornstarch wasn't really on my shopping list so I thought I could try subbing it for something else - which didn't work very well. I used Panko because it was the only thing in our cupboard. Use the cornstarch.
This recipe is delicious. I can't wait to make it again.
What you need:
- 1 lb large peeled, deveined prawns
- 1 cup chopped peanuts

(to taste)

- 3 cups shredded ice berg lettuce
