Ingredients
For the prawns:
- 500 g cooked prawns peeled and deveined
For the sauce:
- 200 ml mayonnaise full-fat for maximum yumminess

For the base:

Instructions
- Prep your prawns: If they're not already peeled, get your fingers ready for a little shell-ebration! Just remove the heads, shells, and veins (eww!). Rinse them gently and pat them dry.
- Make the magical sauce: Whisk together the mayo, ketchup, and lemon juice. Imagine you're conducting a delicious symphony! Season with salt and pepper to taste (don't be shy, let your inner chef shine!).
- Time to build your masterpiece: Pile the shredded lettuce in your fanciest glasses or bowls (think Instagram-worthy presentation!). Nestled on top, create a prawn paradise with your juicy friends.
- Get saucy! Drizzle that creamy, dreamy sauce over everything, letting it coat the prawns like a warm hug.
- Accessorize, if you please: Sprinkle those optional extras ( chives, cucumber, avocado) for a burst of flavor and texture.
