Ingredients
Scale
For the Prawn Salad
- 12 oz cooked prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Assembly
- 4 soft hot dog or sandwich buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful dressing base for the prawns.
- Toss the prawns: Add the cooked prawns to the bowl and gently toss them in the dressing, ensuring each prawn is evenly coated with the mixture for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the buns: Line each of the soft buns with a fresh lettuce leaf. This adds a nice crunch and prevents the bun from becoming soggy.
- Fill the buns: Spoon the dressed prawn mixture generously into each lettuce-lined bun, forming the prawn rolls.
- Serve: Serve the prawn rolls immediately, optionally garnished with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus if desired.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked or thawed prawns for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust mayonnaise and lemon juice quantities to your taste preference for creaminess and tanginess.
- For an extra crunch, add finely diced cucumber or radish.
- These rolls are best eaten fresh to maintain the bun’s softness and prawn’s freshness.
- Substitute hot dog buns with brioche or sandwich rolls for a richer taste.
