Preparation

Step 1

For roasted prawn oil, peel the prawns & put the shells to one side.
Heat veg. oil in a saucepan & add shells. Keep bashing the heads to extract the juice & fry for 3-4 mins. until shells turn lightly golden. Leave to cool & infuse for 20 mins., then strain through a fine sieve. Throw out shells & leave to oil to cool to room temp.

Step 2

For the cocktail sauce, place yolks, mustard, vinegar & seasoning in a bowl. Combine olive oil & prawn oil in a jug. Beat egg mixture with an electric whisk & very slowly trickle in the oils until half has been used
up, (mayo should be stable). Speed up the pour until combined to make a thick wobbly mayo. Season with lemon juice, salt & pepper, mix in ketchup, purée, brandy & chilli sauce.

Step 3

Divide lettuce leaves between the plates & add some squeezed lemon juice. Place ½ a stoned avocado on ea. & squeeze over more lemon. Add salt, split prawns between plates & spoon over 1-2 tbsp. of cocktail sauce. Sprinkle with chilli powder & top with a crevette to serve.

To keep it classic, replace roasted prawn oil with the same vol. of veg. oil & swap the chilli sauce for ½ teasp. of tabasco and the chilli powder for cayenne pepper.
