Method

Whipped Spiced Potted Shrimp Butter

  2. Then, in a food mixer with a blade or a paddle, add the butter and mix on a high speed for 2 to 3 minutes. To soften and lighten the texture, add the lemon juice, Worcester sauce and spice and continue mixing. Add the chopped parsley and spoon out into a bowl before folding through the shrimp and seasoning.
  3. Drain the hot potatoes and spoon on a generous spoon of the shrimp butter and allow to melt a little before serving.

Gambas

  2. For the prawns, divide the prawns into 2 ovenproof dishes.
  3. Season with salt, and add the chilli flakes, lemon rind and roasted garlic. Cover in oil and pimento, then roast for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Once done roasting, sprinkle over the parsley.

Prawn Toasts

  2. Put the prawns and egg white into a mini food processor and blitz until smooth, then season.
