Serves 6

Ingredients

Lime Aioli

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard

Prawns

  • 6 green yamba prawns, peeled
  • 50ml olive oil
  • Pinch sea salt flakes
  • Pinch white pepper
  • Handful rocket leaves
  • 2 heads radicchio leaves picked
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges

Method

Lime Aioli

  1. Blend the garlic, salt and egg yolks in a food processor until thoroughly combined.

  3. Stir in water, lime juice and mustard.
  4. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until required.

Prawns

  1. Preheat a BBQ plate to high heat.
  2. Dress the prawns in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Barbecue for a 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Toss the rocket and radicchio in the lemon juice with a pinch of salt flakes.

To Serve: Advanced Option

  1. Make a cone out of a section of a banana leaf – available in packets from Thai grocery stores and some grocery stores. Cut a 25cm x 10cm rectangle – with the spine on the short side. Then holding the spine in your left hand, turn the bottom right hand corner in on itself to create a cone shape – the bottom right hand corner forms the point and the outside of the cone becomes the spine.
  2. Then use a small stapler to secure it. Banana leaves have a glossy side and a matte side – make sure the glossy side is facing out.
  3. Fill the cone 2/3 with the rocket and radicchio, then add a prawn, dollop of aioli and a lime wedge.
  4. Easier option
  5. Simply serve in a small white Chinese bowl. Cut sections of banana leaf and use to line the bowl.
  6. Then fill up the bowl with the rocket and radicchio, top with a prawn, dollop of aioli and a lime wedge.
