Delicious prawn baguettes with saffron aioli and pickled veggies, ideal for BBQs or picnics.
Ingredients:
  • 10.00 gm boiling water
  • 50g Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 12 large green tiger prawns, peeled, deveined, tails intact
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4.80 gm sea salt
  • 1 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
  • Mixed lettuce leaves, to serve
  • 1 long baguette, split lengthways, cut into 4 pieces
  • 150ml apple cider vinegar
  • 200ml rice vinegar
  • 100ml mirin
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1/2 bunch baby carrots, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, halved lengthways, deseeded, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch baby radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch baby beetroot, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • Pinch saffron threads
Instructions:
  • Combine vinegars, mirin, mustard seeds, peppercorns, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds in a large bowl and let sit for 30 minutes to infuse for the pickled vegetables.
  • Combine prawns with oil, garlic, salt, lemon juice and zest in a glass or ceramic bowl. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  • While the prawns marinate, infuse the garlic, saffron, and water in a heatproof bowl for 10-15 minutes. Mix in the mayonnaise, cover, and chill in the fridge until needed.
  • Place the carrot in the pickling mixture for 5 minutes. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl. Repeat the process with the cucumber, radish, and beetroot, each in its own bowl. Set aside for later use.
  • Heat up the barbecue flat plate or grill on high. Pat the prawns dry and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until they're fully cooked.
  • Place crisp, fresh lettuce onto each baguette. Layer with a variety of pickled vegetables and then top with 3 plump prawns. Conclude by generously drizzling with flavorful aioli.
