Ingredients for Chilli-Rubbed Prawns with Avocado Corn Cocktail

• 16 jumbo prawns (about 675g), peeled and deveined

• 1 tablespoon ancho chilli powder

• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt

• 1 cucharadita de cilantro molido

• 1 cucharadita de orégano seco

• 1/2 cucharadita de comino molido

• 1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra recién molida

• 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva virgen extra

• Avocado and Corn Salsa

1. Rinse the prawns under cold running water, then blot them dry with paper towels.

2. Place the chilli powder, garlic salt, coriander, oregano, cumin, and pepper in a mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Add the prawns and toss to coat. Stir in the olive oil. Let the prawns marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Cook the prawns, following the instructions below for any of the grills, until just cooked through. When done the prawns will turn pinkish white and will feel firm to the touch.

4. Spoon the Avocado and Corn Salsa into 4 large martini glasses or serving bowls. Drape 4 of the hot prawns over the edge of each glass or bowl and serve at once. Or for a cold prawns cocktail, let the cooked prawns cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the prawns, covered, until they are chilled before serving them with the salsa. The cooked prawns can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Preheat the grill; if your contact grill has a temperature control, preheat the grill to high. Place the drip pan under the front of the grill. When ready to cook, lightly oil the grill surface. Place the marinated prawns on the hot grill, then close the lid. The prawns will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes.

Place the grill pan on the stove and preheat it to high over medium heat. When the grill pan is hot a drop of water will skitter in the pan. When ready to cook, lightly oil the ridges of the grill pan. Place the marinated prawns in the hot grill pan. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.

Preheat the grill to high, then, if it does not have a nonstick surface, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the marinated prawns on the hot grate. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.

Preheat the grill to high; there's no need to oil the grate. Place the marinated prawns on the hot grill. They will be done after cooking 2 to 4 minutes per side.
