Now that I’m living in London, I get a limited window when I actually feel like eating summery foods. I almost go into overdrive, thinking about all the wonderful things I want to eat before the weather turns cold again and my body will be craving soups and stews.
These prawn and mango wraps are a favourite summertime meal. They are light and fresh and perfect on a hot day. The prawns are marinated with garlic and lime juice and the mango adds the most wonderful element of freshness to the meal.
They take no time at all to make and are fancy enough that you can serve to guests. It find it easiest to just add all the ingredients to serving bowls and let people assemble at the table.
