Ingredients
Scale
For the Prawn Cocktail Filling
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mango chutney
- ¼ tsp mild curry powder
- a squeeze of lemon or lime juice
- 150g cooked North Atlantic prawns
For the Subs
- 6 small sub rolls
- 1 small Little Gem lettuce, leaves picked
- small chunk of cucumber, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the prawn mixture: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mango chutney, and mild curry powder. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to brighten the mixture and stir well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Add prawns and chill: Gently fold in the cooked North Atlantic prawns to the mayonnaise mixture. Cover and chill the filling in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the subs, allowing flavors to meld.
- Prepare the subs: Split the small sub rolls along the top to create openings for the filling. Line each roll with a fresh Little Gem lettuce leaf and a few thin slices of cucumber to add crispness and freshness.
- Assemble the subs: Spoon the chilled prawn cocktail filling generously into each prepared sub roll, ensuring an even and ample distribution of prawns and flavorful sauce.
- Serve: Serve the spiced prawn cocktail subs immediately for the best texture, or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of curry powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Make sure prawns are cooked and properly chilled before mixing to maintain freshness.
- Little Gem lettuce is preferred for its crisp texture and size, but iceberg or butter lettuce can be substituted.
- These subs are best eaten the same day for freshness but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute the sub rolls with gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps.
