This is a great salad to make on a hot day and it is quick and easy to cook! The grilled prawns are a perfect protein to go with this chickpea salad.
Ingredients
- 800g prawn meat, peeled and deveined (approx. 1.76 lbs)
- 2 tbsp olive oil

In a bowl, combine prawn meat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and Old Bay seasoning.
- Grill the corn cobs on a hot grill for 10-12 minutes, or until they develop a nice colour on the outside. Once cooked, slice off the kernels from the cobs.
