Grilled Gazpacho Salad with Prawns

This grilled gazpacho salad with prawns is a sophisticated, high-protein take on the classic Spanish chilled soup. By charring plum tomatoes, peppers, and spring onions over a hot barbecue, you develop a deep, smoky sweetness that perfectly complements the succulent grilled prawns. Unlike a traditional liquid gazpacho, this chunky salad retains all the vibrant textures of fresh summer produce, making it a satisfying and colourful centrepiece for outdoor dining.

Perfect for a healthy weekend lunch or a light dinner, this dish is packed with heart-healthy olive oil and plenty of fresh basil for an aromatic finish. The addition of toasted country-style bread soaked in a tangy red wine vinegar dressing ensures every bite is full of savoury flavour. Serve it at room temperature with a generous squeeze of lime to bring all the charred elements together beautifully.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Set aside 2 garlic cloves for bread slices. Place remaining garlic on double layer of heavy-duty foil; drizzle 45ml olive oil over. Fold up and seal packet. Place directly on grill rack and cook until garlic is very tender and golden, about 30 minutes. Open packet; cool garlic.

Toss prawns (in shells) and 1 tablespoon oil in medium bowl to coat; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine plum tomatoes, spring onions, sweet onion, both peppers, and 2 tablespoons oil in large bowl; toss to coat. Arrange cucumber halves and bread slices on baking sheet; brush with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle all vegetables with salt and pepper. Grill prawns until just opaque, about 2 1/2 minutes per side; transfer to another bowl and cool. Grill vegetables until crisp-tender, turning frequently, about 3 minutes for plum tomatoes and spring onions, 5 minutes for cucumbers, and 15 minutes for sweet onion and peppers. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet. Grill bread slices until just beginning to crisp and grill marks appear, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Rub bread with reserved garlic cloves, then discard garlic cloves.

Peel prawns; transfer to large bowl. Cut all vegetables and bread into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces; add to prawns along with any accumulated juices. Stir in grilled garlic cloves and grape tomatoes. Whisk vinegar, hot pepper sauce, and remaining 60ml oil in small bowl; pour over salad and toss to coat.

Do ahead: Can be made 1 1/2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

Stir thinly sliced basil into salad. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges.
