Ingredients

  • 8 brioche buns
  • 1 baby cos lettuce or little gem, washed and patted dry
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup tomato sauce (ketchup)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small purple shallot finely diced
  • ½ tsp ground paprika
  • ½ tsp ground chilli powder optional
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • 24 cooked prawns or shrimps shells removed except tails
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill sprigs for garnishing

Instructions

  • Slice the brioche buns in half and lay 2-3 mini cos leaves on each base.
  • In a large bowl, make the seafood sauce by stirring the mayonnaise and tomato sauce (ketchup) until combined, then add the lemon juice, finely diced purple shallot, spices, seasoning, and finely chopped fresh dill, and stir until well combined.
