Ingredients: 200g cooked and peeled prawns (shrimp), chilled; 4 tablespoons mayonnaise; 1 teaspoon lemon juice; 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard; 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped; 4 slices of soft white or brown bread; 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced; 50g butter, softened (for spreading); 1 small avocado, sliced (optional); 2 lettuce leaves, washed and dried; Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the prawns

If using frozen prawns, ensure they are completely thawed and pat them dry with paper towels. If they're particularly large, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Make the prawn mayo filling

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and chopped dill. Add the prawns and gently fold everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the bread

Lightly butter each slice of bread on one side. This creates a moisture barrier that prevents the sandwich from getting soggy.
Assemble the sandwich

Place lettuce leaves on two slices of bread (buttered side up). Spread the prawn mixture evenly over the lettuce. Add cucumber slices and avocado if using.
Complete the sandwich

Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side down. Press gently to secure everything together. If desired, cut into triangles or rectangles for serving.
