Serves 5

Ingredients

  • prawns - cooked (5 per person)
  • tub of crème fraiche
  • filo pastry or tortillas
  • handful of toasted sesame seeds (white)
  • 3 avocadoes, halved and scooped
  • 1 red chilli, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 bunch coriander
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • pinch cumin
  • ½ lemon, juiced

Method: How to make saltwater prawns with avocado crème fraiche

1. Prepare the avocado crème fraiche first. It is similar to guacamole.

2. In a large bowl, place the scooped avocado and lime juice and mix until the avocados have been coated with juice. Drain and reserve the lime juice. With your hands, add the salt and cumin and mash the mixture.

3. Then fold in the onions, chillis, tomatoes, coriander and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice.

4. Let this sit at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. To keep the mixture from turning brown, add the stones from the avocado to the bowl.

5. Then, either using filo pastry or tortilla wraps, cut out a circle or square and pan fry (2 per person) on a medium heat with 1 teaspoon butter and ½ teaspoon vegetable oil until golden brown. Drain and leave aside until plating.

6. The prawns need to be washed and then coated in lemon juice.

7. When ready to serve, plate by firstly putting pan fried tortilla or filo in the centre of the plate. Then top with the prawns, then with a spoonful of avocado relish, another tortilla/filo, some more prawns, and then finish with a spoonful of crème fraiche.

8. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
