Method

  • 1. Wash the lettuce leaves and dry.

  • 2.Chop the tomatoes into small chunks and put in a bowl with the chilli, lime juice, oil, coriander and small prawns. Stir so everything is mixed together and leave to stand for a few mintues.

  • 4. Put a dollop of guacamole on each lettuce leaf then top with the prawn mixture.

  • Don't over load the leaves as you need to be able to pick them up!

  • 6. Pick up and and eat away!
