Wild Atlantic Prawn and Avocado with Romesco Crumb
Recipe for Wild Atlantic Prawn and avocado with romesco crumb dish by Chef Russell Brown from Creative Cuisine
Ingredients
Method
For the crumb:
In a non stick pan, gently fry the garlic in the olive oil for one minute - don’t allow to colour. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring, until a pale golden brown. Add the paprika and then the nuts. Adjust the seasoning and tip out onto kitchen paper.
For the dressing:
Combine the mustard, maple syrup and the vinegar in a small jug. Gradually blend in the oil and season to taste.
Peel, halve and thinly slice the avocado, and arrange the slices in a line across the centre of four plates. Season the prawns and divide between the plates. Add some crumb in a line over the avocado and then add dots of dressing. Finish with some baby watercress.
