THE ULTIMATE PRAWN SANDO

Spring is coming and it is time to take hold of sunny Sunday afternoons with the perfect sandwich.

I present to you the ultimate Prawn Sandwich.

In the 2020 lockdown my roommates and I used to prepare for a new week with a prawn roll and wines on our balcony.

We would spend nearly all Sunday morning gathering ingredients and preparing our lunch feast.

This recipe is born from that memory.

It’s zesty and fresh with the correct amount of bacon.

I am telling you right now you will want to double the recipe.
