Asparagus, Olives and Prawn Salad - Neil Perry image

Entered for ZWT. By Neil Perry, "Fresh and Fast". King Prawns are 15 count and under; equivalent in size to Colossal Shrimp. Taggiasca olives are small and deep red, tasting sweet and mild, grown in Liguria. I don't know your family, but mine would lynch me if they only got one prawn; for them, I would do better with more of the 30-count shrimp. But this salad is technically a side dish, not an entree. Preserved lemons require at least 5 days if you don't already have some on hand.
