Tips for Making Prawn Mayo Sandwich

• Dry the prawns properly. Any water on them thins the mayonnaise and soaks the bread, so pat them with paper before mixing.
• Butter the bread to the edge. It seals the crumb against the filling and keeps the sandwich from going soggy.
• Use just enough mayonnaise to bind the prawns. They should glisten, not swim.

What to Serve with Prawn Mayo Sandwich

• Salt and vinegar crisps
• A cup of tea
• Cucumber slices

Storing & Reheating Prawn Mayo Sandwich

Best eaten fresh. It keeps wrapped in the fridge for up to 6 hours, but the bread softens. Keep the filling in the fridge for up to 2 days.
