Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 200g peeled, deveined medium-sized fresh prawns
Bread
- 4 soft white or wholemeal bread rolls, fresh and fluffy
Filling
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or dairy-free mayo for alternative)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery or cucumber for crunch
Instructions
- Prepare the Prawns: Rinse fresh prawns under cold water and pat dry with paper towel. If raw, poach in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque, then drain and cool completely.
- Create the Flavored Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cooled prawns with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Fold in salt and pepper to taste. Add optional finely chopped celery or cucumber for extra texture if desired.
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice bread rolls horizontally without cutting through completely, keeping them hinged. Lightly toast if you prefer extra texture and warmth.
- Assemble the Prawn Rolls: Generously fill each bread roll with the prawn mixture, pressing down slightly to secure the filling, and carefully close the roll ensuring no filling spills out.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately at their freshest or cover and chill for up to one hour to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
- Use the freshest prawns available for the best juicy, sweet flavor.
- Use just enough mayonnaise to keep the filling creamy without overpowering the seafood taste.
- If prepping in advance, keep filling and bread separate to avoid sogginess.
- Customize herbs to your taste preference for a personal twist.
- Serve prawn rolls chilled or at room temperature based on occasion and preference.
