EASY SWAPS
Swap prawns and langoustines for crayfish, or use sustainable frozen lobster tails (you can buy them at Iceland).
• 500g pack raw sustainable langoustines
• 200g mayonnaise
• 100g crème fraîche
• 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
• Juice 1 lime
•A few dashes Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• 2x 400g packs sustainable cold-water cooked peeled prawns, defrosted
• 1 radicchio di chioggia (or use 3 small red chicory)
• 80g bag wild rocket
• 2 avocados, stoned and diced
• 2 large salad onions, sliced
• 2-3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
• Handful roughly chopped soft herbs – coriander, dill, chives…
• Lemon/lime wedges and brown bread and butter to serve
1 Heat the oven to 180ºC fan/ gas 6. Arrange the langoustines on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Set aside while you make the salad.
2 In a medium bowl, mix the mayo, crème fraîche, ketchup, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne with salt and pepper. Stir in the prawns.
3 Arrange half the radicchio leaves in a serving bowl (ideally clear glass), then top with all the rocket. Follow this layer with half the prawns and sauce, then the remaining radicchio leaves, the avocados and the salad onions. Top with the remaining prawns. Arrange the cooked langoustines around the bowl, drizzle with the sweet chilli sauce, scatter with the herbs and serve with lemon or lime wedges and a stack of well-buttered brown bread.
