These prawn rolls are a coastal-inspired twist on a classic hot dog—light, creamy, tangy, and bursting with fresh textures. They bring together buttery sautéed prawns, cool cucumber, chives, and a creamy mayo-based filling, all stuffed into soft brioche buns and topped with lettuce and a dash of chilli oil.
The dish begins by pan-searing garlic-seasoned king prawns in butter until they’re juicy and aromatic. These are then chopped and mixed with diced cucumber, spring onions, chives, and a spicy mayo dressing. Once spooned into a toasted bun with crisp lettuce, each bite is cool, crunchy, and savoury with just a hint of heat.
