method

Let’s make something delicious

  • Step one

    Over a medium heat, add a glug of oil and fry the garlic and pancetta until fragrant. Throw in the breadcrumbs and cook until golden, mixing as they fry.

  • Step two

    To make the sauce, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, half the lemon juice and a splash of the Tabasco in a deep bowl. Season to taste and stir through the prawns.

  • Step three

    Next, blend half the avocado with the remaining lemon juice and a splash of water, seasoning well. Set aside and prepare the salad. Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the lettuce and dice the cucumber, removing the seeds with a spoon before you chop.

  • Step four

    When you’re ready to serve, prepare your jars or glasses. Layer the lettuce and top with the cucumber and tomatoes. Add the prawns, then sprinkle in the pancetta breadcrumbs. Drizzle over the avocado sauce, and a few reserved spears if you wish. Finish with the cress and a pinch of cayenne. Serve up!
