Ingredients
For the Marie Rose Sauce:
- 2 heaped tablespoons of fu:di Mayonnaise of your choice
- ½ lemon, juice and zest
- 10 drops of tabasco, more if you like it spicier
- 3-4 Monk Fruit Drops
- 1 tsp of tomato purée
- 1 tsp sherry vinegar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 boxes of prawns
To Assemble:
- 1 head of iceberg lettuce, washed and shredded
- 10ml extra virgin olive oil
-
1 avocado, diced
-
1 baby gem, leaves separated and washed
-
Salt, to taste
-
Black pepper, to taste
- ½ lemon, cut into wedges
Let's Begin!
Step 1 - Make the Marie Rose Sauce
Add all the ingredients to a bowl except the prawns and mix to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning - add more tabasco, sweetness from the monk fruit or salt if you need. Add the prawns and mix until well covered. Set aside.
Step 2 - Assemble & serve!
Take your glass of choice, add a nice handful of shredded iceberg, season it and add a little drizzle of olive oil. Add ¼ of the avocado per glass and then share around the prawns until you have a lovely heaped glass. Season with pepper, pop two pieces of baby gem on the side for scooping and a wedge of lemon to add a bit of extra lemony freshness at the table. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip!
Chill your serving glasses for 10 minutes before assembling for extra retro flair and a fresher, crisper bite! 🦐✨
