Honeydew melon salsa and prawn salad

This refreshing appetizer was delicious!
After I was given a heap of melons I decided to get creative with how I used them.
In this dish I used diced honeydew melon with ripe peaches, thinly sliced red onion,  and fried chilli prawns. The result: zesty, fresh and mouth watering!

Ingredients  -  Serves 4

1/4 c white wine vinegar
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 honeydew melon, diced
1 peach, diced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch fresh mint
2 tbsp chilli oil (or, 1 tbsp chilli & 2tbsp oil)
12-16 prawns, peeled and deviened

Method

• The first part may be prepared an hour or so in advance.  
• In a heavy pan simmer vinegar and sugar till reduced slightly
• Pour into bowl and chill (do not clean pan, you will cook prawns in it. 
• Prepare fruit,  onion and mint, toss them through the dressing, season with black pepper and return to the fridge.
• When you are ready to eat, heat the chilli oil in the same pan.
• Cook prawns,  turning once till lightly browned and flesh is white.
• Serve on top of melon salsa.
