The Best Prawn Sandwich
Description
This prawn sandwich recipe starts by lightly frying cooked king prawns in olive oil, which warms them through and enhances their texture without overcooking. The prawns are then tossed in a sauce made from mayonnaise, Sriracha, and a splash of lime juice that adds tang and spice. The sandwich assembly includes sliced baguettes partly cut through, creating a pocket.
Fresh little gem lettuce and peppery arugula add crunch and leafy greens, while slices of ripe avocado offer creamy richness. This combination of textures and flavors—spicy, tangy sauce; juicy prawns; crisp lettuce; and smooth avocado—makes the sandwich balanced and satisfying. The layering ensures every bite includes all elements.
The sandwich suits a casual meal or light dinner and can be customized by swapping bread types or adjusting the sauce’s spice and sweetness. The lime juice quantity may vary based on the lime's juiciness, and extra seasoning like Cajun spices can be added during frying for more flavor complexity.
