In today's article I want to share with you how to prepare a quick and wonderful Fresh prawn starter with arugula It will also serve you perfectly for a dinner or as a delicious canapé for a party. Actually the only job it takes is to cook the prawns and remove the shell, the rest is to "assemble" the appetizer.

Those who follow my blog already know that I love to bring a good meal to the table but that it also stands out in its presentation. As I wanted this starter to be something minimalist but colorful, I decided to serve a prawn with a little mayonnaise on top, but to make it a bit more elegant, I put some arugula leaves on top of the mini toast.

As I did not want it to be the traditional prawn cocktail from the 70s with pink sauce and iceberg lettuce, what I did was vary in the ingredients and in its preparation, but believe me that without a doubt, when you have tried the first prawn, you will want to eat them everybody.

I served them individually as a canapé for a party, but if you want to take it to the table as a starter, you can prepare them in a platter and have each person serve himself.
