Ingredients
For the prawns
- 2 tbsp gochujang paste (we used Sun Hee)
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 tbsp clear honey
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise
- 2 x 150g packs Taste the Difference ready-to-eat jumbo king prawns
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
To serve
- 1 head round lettuce, leaves separated
- 1 cucumber, sliced diagonally
- ½ x 240g pack radishes, thinly sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 x 30g pack coriander, leaves picked
- 1 lime, sliced into wedges
Step by step
- Put the gochujang, garlic, honey, soy sauce and mayonnaise in a bowl. Whisk together until smooth and add the prawns, then toss together well to coat.
- Arrange the prawns in a pile on a platter. Surround with a pile of lettuce leaves, the cucumber, radishes, red onion and coriander leaves. Finish everything with a sprinkle of salt and a squeeze of lime. Sprinkle the prawns with the sesame seeds, then let everyone pile the fillings into their own lettuce wraps
