Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into chips
Add the chips to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp
Drain your king prawns, then add them to a bowl with half of your Henderson's Relish (you'll use the rest later!) and gently mix together until the prawns are fully coated
Set aside – these are your marinated prawns
Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely
Chop your tomato[es] in half, then slice finely
Chop your chives finely
Combine your tomato ketchup and mayo in a bowl with the remaining Henderson's Relish, most of your ground smoked paprika (save some for garnish!) and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your Marie Rose sauce
Add your cornflour to the bowl with the marinated prawns and season with a pinch of salt and pepper
Mix it all together until the prawns are fully coated in the batter – these are your coated prawns
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the coated prawns and cook for 6-7 min or until the prawns are cooked through and the batter is golden and crisp – these are your crispy prawns
Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Do this in batches!
Pierce your bao bun packet[s] with a few holes and microwave for 1-2 min
To build your bao buns, add the sliced tomato to each bao and top with a handful of shredded lettuce and the crispy prawns
Drizzle with the Marie Rose sauce and garnish with the chopped chives and sprinkle with the remaining ground smoked paprika – these are your crispy prawn cocktail bao buns with Marie Rose sauce
Serve the crispy prawn cocktail bao buns with Marie Rose sauce with the chips, remaining shredded lettuce and any remaining Marie Rose sauce to the side
Enjoy!
