Place prawns in a glass or ceramic round baking dish, such as a quiche dish or pie plate. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and oil. Loosely cover with waxed paper. Microwave on high 1 minute. Stir, and cook another 1-2 minutes or as needed. Do not overcook! Just until they start to turn pink. Allow to cool about 10-15 minutes. When ready to serve, cut each prawn into small pieces and toss with the radishes, mango and cilantro in a beautiful salad bowl. In glass measuring cup, whisk the zest, juice, mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour over the salad, toss, and serve!
