Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the prawns (1 pack) to a food processor and blitz until smooth. Stir through the chives (10 g), parsley (10 g), mustard (2 tsp), Worcestershire sauce (2 tsp), Tabasco sauce (1 tsp), paprika (1/2 tsp), egg (1) and 80g of breadcrumbs (80 g). Add a generous pinch of sea salt flakes and a generous crack of black pepper.
step 2
With slightly oiled hands, roll the mix into 12 patties.
step 3
Add the remaining breadcrumbs (40 g) to a plate and coat the prawn cakes evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
step 4
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the prawn cakes. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oil and leave to drain on a piece of kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil.
step 5
While the prawn cakes cook, add some lettuce (1 pack) to a plate and top with the thinly sliced avocado (1). Pop the prawn cocktail cakes on top and serve with a generous dollop of seafood sauce (4 tbsp), a pinch of smoked paprika (1 pinch), and the lemon wedges (1).
