Method
1. Make the Marie Rose Sauce by combining all ingredients in a bowl and mixing until fully combined. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
2. Place the prawns into a mixing bowl and cover with half of the sauce. Mix until the prawns are fully coated.
3. Prepare your lettuce and wash the leaves under cold water. Chop/shred the larger leaves into thin strips and keep the smaller leaves whole for decoration.
4. Cut your chosen bread into slices and place it onto a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt flakes. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C Fan for around 10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
5. To serve, place the shredded lettuce into the bottom of a bowl and place the small leaves down one side. Place a portion of the prawn mixture into the centre and add the croutons to the side along with a lemon wedge. Spoon a little more sauce over the prawns and sprinkle with cayenne pepper or paprika.
Enjoy!
