• Ready In: 13mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 150 g king prawns, shelled
• 50 g halloumi cheese, cut into cubes
• 1 pinch oregano
• 1⁄2 teaspoon butter
• 1 dash extra virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried parsley (I have used dried for speed but fresh is better)
• 1⁄2 lime, juiced
• black pepper, to season
• 30 g watercress
• 30 g rocket

directions

1. Sprinkle the oregano on to the halloumi cubes and set aside.
2. Heat the butter in a pan on a medium to high heat with a dash of olive oil. Once the butter has melted add the garlic, prawns and parsley.
3. Continuously mix the prawns to they cook evenly and do not burn (2 minutes), and as they turn pink add the halloumi along with the black pepper.
4. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the halloumi browns and the prawns are cooked through out. Once done, remove for the heat and squeeze the lime over them.
5. Layer the base of your salad with the green leaves and top with the prawns and halloumi poured all over them.
