Ingredients
Scale
For the Dressing and Filling
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mango chutney
- ¼ tsp mild curry powder
- Squeeze of lemon or lime juice
- 150g cooked North Atlantic prawns
For the Sandwich
- 6 small sub rolls
- 1 small Little Gem lettuce, leaves picked
- Small chunk of cucumber, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the prawn dressing: In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mango chutney, and mild curry powder. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice to brighten the flavors. Stir until well combined.
- Add the prawns: Gently fold in the cooked North Atlantic prawns into the dressing mixture, ensuring all prawns are lightly coated. Cover the bowl and chill the mixture until ready to assemble the sandwiches, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the rolls and vegetables: Split each of the six small sub rolls lengthwise across the top. Line each roll with a crisp leaf of Little Gem lettuce and top with a few thin slices of cucumber for freshness and crunch.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spoon the chilled prawn cocktail mixture evenly into each prepared sub roll over the lettuce and cucumber. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of chili powder or cayenne to the dressing.
- You can substitute the Little Gem lettuce with iceberg or romaine for a similar crunch.
- If North Atlantic prawns are unavailable, any peeled cooked prawns can be used.
- Keep the filling chilled until serving to maintain freshness and food safety.
- To make it gluten free, opt for gluten-free sub rolls or use lettuce leaves as wraps.
