Ingredients

  • 20 ounces cooked prawns
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 handful fresh coriander
  • 1 tomato
  • 1/4 red onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 baguette
  • 1 lime (juice)

Method

  • Slice your bread thinly, and lay out the pieces on a baking tray.
  • Turn on your oven griller, and grill/broil your bread on one side for about a minute until just golden. Flip them over and repeat the process.
  • While still hot, brush them with the olive oil, and rub the peeled garlic clove onto the hot bread. At this point your kitchen will smell like garlic bread!
  • To make the mixture, peel and devein your prawns, chop them into small pieces, and add them to a large mixing bowl.
  • Deseed your tomato, and chop it up into small pieces. Add that to the bowl, along with the roughly chopped coriander and finely chopped onion.
  • Stir in the mayonnaise, paprika, lime juice, salt and pepper, until it's all evenly coated. Check the seasoning, it should be slightly salty and tart, with a kick of heat.
  • Spoon over the mixture onto the crostini, and serve immediately. Enjoy with champagne!
