Prawns with Maryam Zaira Sauce

Image removed for printing

Start with a small amount of the harissa you’ve got before working up to the amount I have stipulated below.

  • 500g cooked prawns with shell on. With larger prawns you'll need less sauce below so with the huge Australia prawns, you could halve the recipe below.

FOR THE SAUCE

  • 200g good-quality mayonnaise

  • 50g harissa (or less!)

  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon honey

Step 1 - Mix together all the sauce ingredients, and put into a bowl suitable for dipping.

Step 2 - Arrange the prawns on a platter with a bowl of the sauce next to it. If you're keeping the prawns unpeeled, make sure you have enough in the way of plates or saucers for the shells.
