Recipe: Teresa Cutter's Prawn Cocktail

This recipe was created by Teresa Cutter (www.teresacutter.com.au) who is an organic, gluten free chef from Avalon on the Northern Beaches. I discovered her via my wonderful dietician Susie Burrell (http://www.susieburrell.com.au) .
I have made this a handful of times now, always when Superman is at work; there is no way he would eat it, what with it having coriander and mint in it. It is just awesome, so light, healthy and delicious. I make it as a salad, increasing the volume of lettuce and cucumber. I also grill corn to go in it to increase the carbohydrate and make it a meal.
