Made using Malt Vinegar

Ingredients

For the Marie Rose sauce

  • 1 tsp Sarson’s Malt Vinegar (add more to taste)
  • 100g mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 drops Tabasco (or other hot sauce)
  • ½ tsp grated lemon zest

To serve

  • 150g fresh prawns, chopped
  • 2 whole prawns (head and all), to garnish
  • ¼ iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • ½ beef tomato, deseed and finely diced
  • ¼ cucumber, deseeded and finely diced
  • ½ avocado, finely diced
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 slices of brown bread, buttered and triangled
  • 1 pinch of cayenne pepper, to garnish
  • Slice of lemon, to serve

Method

  1. To make the Marie Rose sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Coat the tomato, cucumber, and avocado in the lemon juice together, being careful not to break up the avocado.
  3. Dress the prawns in the sauce so they are generously coated (they may not need all the sauce, any remaining sauce can be served on the side).
  4. To serve, add the lettuce to the bottom of a glass, then the diced cucumber, tomato, and avocado. Add a generous spoonful of prawns to form the top layer.
  5. Garnish and serve with the brown bread, lemon, and bottle of Sarson’s on the side. Enjoy!
