For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the prawns while cooking. This dish is best served immediately, as the avocado may brown slightly over time. Serve with crusty bread for dipping, or over a bed of rice or quinoa for a more substantial meal. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice and sugar to your personal preference.
