A flavorful and easy-to-make spiced prawn cocktail filling served in small sub rolls, combining creamy mayonnaise, sweet mango chutney, and mild curry powder for a delicious twist on a classic prawn cocktail sandwich.
Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mango chutney
- ¼ tsp mild curry powder
- squeeze of lemon or lime juice
- 150g cooked North Atlantic prawns
Subs and Garnishes
- 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 balance the flavors, then gently fold in the cooked North Atlantic prawns. Mix carefully to ensure the prawns are evenly coated with the sauce. Chill the mixture until ready to assemble to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare the sub rolls: Split each of the six small sub rolls down the top, creating a pocket for the filling. Place a leaf of Little Gem lettuce inside each roll to add freshness and a crisp texture.
- Assemble the subs: Lay a few thin slices of cucumber over the lettuce for added crunch and moisture. Spoon the chilled prawn cocktail mixture generously into each roll, ensuring an even distribution of prawns and sauce in every sub.
- Serve: Serve the prawn cocktail subs immediately to enjoy their fresh and zesty flavors at their best, or cover and keep chilled until serving to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use cooked and peeled North Atlantic prawns for best flavor and convenience.
- Adjust the curry powder amount based on your spice preference; mild is recommended to keep the dish light and flavorful.
- Chilling the prawn mixture helps develop the flavors and keeps the filling cool and refreshing.
- The Little Gem lettuce adds a perfect crunch and mild flavor; romaine or butter lettuce can be used as alternatives.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute sub rolls with gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps.
