Ingredients
  • 4 cups long grain white rice
  • 1kg cooked, peeled prawns, tails intact
  • 2 red capsicums, diced
  • 4 Lebanese cucumbers, halved, deseeded, thinly sliced
  • 2 x 410g cans baby corn cuts, drained
  • 2 / 3 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Chilli Lemon Dressing
  • 1 / 2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tblsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 1 / 2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 / 3 cup sweet chilli sauce

1. Cook rice in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until just tender. Drain and rinse rice under cold water. Drain well. Spread onto a tray to cool.
2. To make dressing, whisk all ingredients in a small jug until combined.
3. Combine prawns, capsicums, cucumbers, corn cuts and parsley in a large bowl. Stir in rice. Pour over dressing and toss to combine.

Tip: Brown rice can be substituted for the white rice. Rice can be cooked up to one day ahead. Keep, covered, in refrigerator. Add remaining ingredients and dressing before serving.

This Prawn Rice Salad sounds delicious and is an ideal cooler lunch recipe for the warmer weather we are having in Sydney.

Ummm...does this mean the rice is not really cooked fully? Sounds great but I'm not too sure about rinsing the rice under cold water.

Running the rice under cold water separates the grains so its not gluggy, so you see its not so silly.

4 cups rice sounds like an awful lot of rice - how many people does this serve? i would divide this recipe by 4 and add frozen peas & corn.

I'd add some mango or pineapple to sweeten it up a lil, other than that pretty much a generic recipe , oh so 70's .
