Method:

  1. Add all the seasoning spices and lime zest to the prawns, mix and set to one side to marinade.

  2. Mash the avocado with the cream, red wine vinegar and coriander and season.  Set to one side.

  3. In a separate bowl mix the Zespri SunGold kiwi with all the vegetables, lime juice, garlic powder and seasoning.  Set to one side.
