1 fresh long green chilli, sliced thinly

1.Shell and devein prawns, leaving tails intact. Combine prawns in a large bowl with juice, sauce, chillies and sugar.

2.Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water; stand until tender, drain.

We served the salad on butter lettuce leaves, however, this is optional. Prawns have a rich flavour and moist flesh. They are low in saturated fat and high in protein.
