Plant snow peas in your garden in late October and you will benefit from harvesting sweet, crisp deliciousness all through summer. There is nothing more satisfying than picking produce straight from your garden and onto the plate...you can taste the sunshine!
This salad uses sambal oelak which is basically a ground chilli sambal which adds an Asian twist to the dish. No dressing is required as the cooking juices and limes bring all the flavours together. It is easier to eat if you take the tails off the prawns but we always keep the tails on 2-3 prawns per person for presentation.
