skinnymixer’s Lime & Garlic Prawns with Avocado Salsa

Sharing is caring!

Skinnymixer’s Lime & Garlic Prawns with Avocado Salsa is full of big garlic prawn flavours with my new favourite salsa! 

We were brainstorming as a team for new recipes for our Skinnymixer’s community to enjoy this Australia Day. What is more Aussie than throwing some shrimp on the BBQ!?

I know we don’t really call them shrimp, but these Lime & Garlic Prawns with Avocado Salsa are truly epic! 

You can choose to cook them quickly in a pan, grill them or even put them on skewers to team up with our Balsamic Lamb Skewers.

If you don’t like prawns, this marinade will also be delicious with fish or chicken.

Please make sure you leave us a comment if you make them!!
