Emperor King Prawn Tostada

A favourite from our summer party at Gambas Tapas Bar in Bristol, these Emperor King Prawn Tostadas are all about keeping things simple and letting great seafood do the talking. Our juicy Emperor King Prawns sit on golden, lightly toasted baguette with a colourful mix of peppers and red onion, all brought together with a generous spoonful of creamy alioli. Fresh, crunchy, creamy and seriously moreish – a lovely little bite for sharing with friends in the sunshine.
