For a vegetarian option, substitute the fish sauce with a vegetarian fish sauce alternative or soy sauce. If you don't have fresh red chile pepper, you can use a pinch of red pepper flakes. The salsa can be made ahead of time, but add the bananas just before serving to prevent them from browning. Serve the salsa chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor. Consider grilling the prawns instead of boiling them for a smoky flavor.
