BY Prawn Sandwich Recipe
The prawn sandwich is a British classic widely used at posh corporate events, tea parties and from top end cafes.
The prawn sandwich sauce is made from a tablespoon of mayonnaise with a sprinkle of dill filled in a wholemeal bread.
In the last couple of years and prawn sandwich has disappeared and replaced with the prawn mayonnaise sandwich.
Here, I've brought back the classic prawn sandwich with a touch of class and tradition. The prawn sandwich is a winner with seafood lovers and perfect for tea parties.
PREP:
4 MIN.
SERVINGS: 2INGREDIENTS
4 thick cut wholemeal bread slices
100g Cold water prawns
1 tablespoons Coleman's prawn cocktail sauce
1 tablespoon chopped dill
INSTRUCTIONS
1
Simply add four tablespoons of real mayonnaise and one tablespoon of bill into a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly together
2
Add 100g of small cold water prawns in to the mayonnaise and dill mixture and again mix the prawns thoroughly. Insure the prawns are thoroughly defrosted before you begin
3
Now get your 4 slices of thick cut wholemeal bread out of the bread bag and place on your kitchen work surface
4
Finally, slap an equal amount of prawn and dill mayonnaise mixture on to two slices of bread and finish the prawn sandwich with the top slices of bread
5
Cover the sandwiches with saran wrap, place in the fridge for 30 minutes then its ready. Placing the sandwich in the fridge for a short while will allow the prawns and cocktail sauce to marinade slightly - this will bring the whole sandwich to the same temperature which will make a big difference. That's why to some chilled sandwiches taste better
TIPS & ADVICE
Give your prawn sandwich a kick with a dollop of seafood sauce. Try not to use to much as it is quite a strong tasting sauce.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
This traditional prawn cocktail sandwich would make a great addition to your next English tea party.
