Categories     Starter

Time 35m

Yield Serves 4 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 21

225g frozen raw peeled king prawns, defrosted
100ml buttermilk (if you can't find buttermilk, mix the same amount of yogurt with the juice of ½ lemon)
½ iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 ripe avocado, stoned, halved, peeled and thinly sliced crosswise
vegetable oil, for frying
finely chopped chives, to garnish
3 tbsp smoked paprika
½ tbsp ground black pepper
½ tbsp ground white pepper
1½ tbsp garlic powder
1½ tbsp onion powder
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
4 tbsp mayonnaise
4 tbsp tomato ketchup
3 tsp capers, drained and finely chopped
30g gherkins, finely chopped
100g plain flour
100g fine cornmeal or polenta
2 tsp baking powder

Steps:

  • First, combine all the ingredients for the Cajun seasoning. Mix the prawns with the buttermilk and 3 tbsp of the Cajun seasoning in a large bowl, then set aside.
  • To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Season and set aside. Combine all the ingredients for the coating in a separate bowl with the remaining Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt, then set aside.
  • Take one prawn at a time, gently shake off any excess buttermilk mixture, then dip into the coating using a fork, turning to ensure it is fully covered before transferring to a plate. Leave to rest for 15 mins.
  • Fill each glass almost to the top with lettuce, then spoon 2 tbsp of the sauce into each. Divide the avocado slices between four martini glasses, arranging them in a fan against the rim of each glass, so the tops are sticking up over the rims.
  • Heat a 10cm depth of oil in a shallow saucepan or deep-fat fryer until it reaches 180C, or when a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns within 20 seconds. Fry the coated prawns in batches of 10 for 4-5 mins per batch until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper using a slotted spoon and leave to drain. Repeat until all the prawns are cooked, then season with salt and divide between the glasses. Sprinkle over the chives.
