Ingredients
Method
soften butter and mix all ingredients in a bowl together, adding spices and salt to taste.
if serving out of pot, line with clingfilm, drain off a little butter and spoon into the bottom of the pots, chill until set. once set, fill with prawn mix and return to fridge, turning out when set.
if serving in pots, drain off a little butter and reserve. fill pots and chill until set. when set, spoon reserve butter over the top to create a butter "seal". this will make your pots last much longer, and give them a more attractive finish.
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
