Grilled prawns with chive and dill mayonnaise
I like to grill the prawns with the shell on for this dish, it stops them from overcooking on the grill. I split the tails to clean them out before barbecuing, it also allows the smokey flavour from the grill to penetrate the prawns. When finished, don't throw away the heads or shells as they will make excellent fish stock.
20 king prawns head and shell on
Base mayonnaise
1 whole egg (room temp) for staff blender method or if making by hand use 1 egg yolk
150ml neutral oil such as sunflower oil (or sometimes I will use half sunflower and half olive oil or rapeseed oil)
5ml Dijon mustard
5ml cider vinegar
Salt and pepper
5ml lemon juice

Hand blender
Place all the ingredients as listed above (except the salt and pepper) in a tall jug or beaker and allow to stand for 20 minutes to allow them to come to room temperature

Place the blender right at the bottom of the mixture and start to blend at the highest setting, once the mixture starts to thicken, you can then start to move the hand blender to ensure it is well mixed
Season with salt and pepper and the lemon juice
