Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4-6 Little Gem lettuce hearts
350-400g/12-14oz cooked, peeled prawns
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
mustard and cress, to serve
100g mayonnaise
25g tomato ketchup
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • To make the Marie Rose sauce, blend the mayonnaise with the ketchup and a couple of shakes of Tabasco in a bowl. Trim the bases of the lettuce hearts, discard the outer leaves and separate the leaves - they need to be about 10cm long and you want about 24 in total. Reserve the tiny hearts for another salad.
  • Wash the prawns and pat dry between double layers of kitchen paper. Toss in a bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and a little seasoning.
  • Lay the leaves out on serving plates, cup-side up. Drop several prawns into each. Dollop ½ tsp sauce on top, then scatter over some mustard and cress. These can be prepared 1 hr in advance, in which case cover with cling film and set aside in a cool place.
