Sooooo this was lunch. Well actually, it was brunch. Foodie blogger problems 101: getting the shot in natural light. But not really, because prawns can happen whenever.

And garlic prawns are an exception to the cereal in the morning rule. Well, maybe the garlic breath that comes with it isn’t too crash hawt, but who really cares when prawns are in the same sentence.

So now, these prawns (or shrimp) are so good, they now have their own exclusive post: Lemon Paprika Garlic Prawns.

But for now….Crostini…

I think anyone that loves prawns would love them with avocado. It’s like the perfect marriage besides peanut butter and chocolate.

And on crunchy oven grilled sourdough bread drizzled with extra garlic olive oil is a marriage with the crunchy lover on the side. Garlic Prawn and Avocado Crostini on https://cafedelites.com

After crunching on these at brunch, we sat and watched Transformers 4, for the entire whole day afterwards. It was raining and miserable, and these prawns fixed the mood like a 911 emergency.

And there’s nothing I’d rather do an a cold and miserable Melbourne day than to watch movies with my tribe. It’s my favourite thing in the world.

The only thing missing was the glass of vino to go with it, but not at 11 in the morning. Maybe spiked into my coffee, but noooo not today.

In one sentence….make these. With garlic breath and all. Because prawns are worth the listerine mouth wash afterwards.

    Is the avacado salad savable? If there was leftover would it save well?
