Ingredients
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup peeled prawns
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 slices cleaned pineapple, cut into pieces
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 6 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
- A few drops Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup assorted lettuce
Directions
Bring the orange juice to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the prawns and cook just until the prawns are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Drain the prawns, reserving the orange juice.
In a saute pan, add 1/4 cup of the sugar and the pineapple and cook over high heat for 30 seconds. Add the reserved orange juice and vanilla bean and cook for 3 minutes, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let steep while you prepare the vinaigrette.
Whisk together the sherry vinegar, vanilla sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Add in 2 tablespoons of the pineapple liquid. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Place the greens on a platter. Remove the pineapple from the liquid and place on the greens. Top with the poached prawns. Drizzle with the vinaigrette.

I made this with jumbo prawns; with a few additions to the salad and some breadsticks, it became a great dinner! The dressing is subtle but flavorful; I tossed the greens before topping them with the rest. Cooking the prawns in the orange juice gives them a really nice flavor.
