I love wasabi and always have a tube of it in the fridge (I've also got powdered wasabi, but the paste is better). Anyway, I came across this recipe in the latest edition of the UK's Good Food magazine (unfortunately this is not available to access online) and thought it would be great for a Christmas starter, or at any time come to that:

Avocado Prawns with Wasabi Dressing
Serves 6 - ECC 3g carbs per serving

For the dressing:
2 tsp wasabi paste
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lime juices, plus 6 wedges to serve
1 tsp clear honey

For the salad:
2 large ripe, but firm avocados
250g pack of chilled large peeled prawns
2 heads of chicory, red if possible, separated into leaves
a few sprigs of watercress

In a large bowl, mix dressing ingredients until blended. Season with salt and then set aside. Halve and stone the avocados. Dice the flesh while it's still in the skin, then scoop into a bowl. Add the prawns and toss in the dressing. Line six small serving bowls with 2 or 3 chicory leaves. Pile in avocado and prawn mixture. Top with watercress and lime wedges.
