This fresh and flavorful Prawn Rolls recipe features juicy pan-fried prawns tossed in a zesty lemon and mayonnaise dressing with crunchy celery and herbs, served in toasted brioche buns. Perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

For the Prawn Filling

  • 300g frozen prawns, thawed, tails removed
  • 2 celery sticks, finely diced
  • 1 spring onion, finely sliced
  • 2 Tbsp chives, finely chopped
  • 2 lettuce leaves, chopped

For the Dressing

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • Zest of ½ a lemon
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembly

  • 4 long brioche buns
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  • Extra spring onion or chives, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Prawns: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking oil. Add the thawed prawns and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine the Filling: Add finely diced celery, sliced spring onion, chopped chives, and chopped lettuce into the bowl with the cooled prawns. Pour the dressing over and gently mix everything together until evenly coated.
  4. Toast the Buns: Using a dry frying pan over medium heat, toast the brioche buns for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
  5. Assemble the Rolls: Divide the prawn mixture evenly among the toasted brioche buns. Garnish with extra spring onion or chives for added freshness and color. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.

Notes

  • Make sure to thaw the prawns completely before cooking for even frying.
  • Use low-fat mayonnaise for a lighter version of the dressing.
  • To add a little heat, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or chili flakes into the dressing.
  • For a crunchier texture, add finely chopped cucumber or radishes along with the celery.
  • This recipe serves 4 and is best enjoyed immediately to keep the buns crisp.
