Salad Cravings - Cajun Prawn Cesar

I commonly hear of people's cravings as being fried or sugary foods they should avoid rather than indulge.  I admit that sometimes mine would fall into that category.  Although believe it or not, I often crave things that would do me quite well and I should perhaps think to add to my menu more often.  The other night this was in the form of Cajun Prawn Cesar Salad.  Cesar dressing can often outdo french fries for saturated fat and caloies however, my healthy choice is a yogurt based one that I use on the side rather than drenching the taste of lettuce away.  I started with jumbo prawns, drizzled them with olive oil and added a little "Slap yo Mamma" Cajun seasoning.  A few minutes under the broiler, a quick flip and a few more minutes later "ta da".  Served on a bed of romaine, dressed with lemon juice, ciabatta croutons and fresh Parmesan cheese.  If you are looking for a meal that's easy and fantastic, look no further.  It was so yummy, I ate one for lunch the next day as well.  And for those who know me, this is saying a great deal!
