Ingredients

  • ½ cup prawns (shrimp)
  • 3 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 cup mixed salad leaves
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 burger buns

Instructions

  • Use kitchen paper to pat dry the prawns, and arrange them on a grill.
  • Cook them until no longer pink - it can take up to 2 minutes per side.
  • Slice the buns in half, arrange the salad leaves, slices of tomatoes and avocado cut into cubes, then top with the grilled prawns.
  • To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients together, then drizzle the sauce over the prawns.
  • Serve immediately!

Notes

  • This yummy burger can be enjoyed as a healthy work lunch too, since it's ready in well under 10 minutes, and it's so easy to put together.
  • Prawns can be swapped for scallops or langoustines, which can be cooked in exactly the same way, the cooking time will vary slightly though. Or they can also be pan-fried, I have these delicious recipes here that would work well with the burgers too: Pan-Fried King Scallops and Breaded Scampi (Best Langoustine Recipe).
  • If you use ready-cooked prawns, there is no need to grill them, so just add them to the burger, and that's all. The the prawns are frozen, thaw them beforehand.
  • Add any other bits of salad you like: arugula salad, baby spinach leaves or lettuce work really well too. If you don't have avocados, you could also go for gherkins or any other pickled veggies.
