  4. 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
  5. Salt and pepper, to taste
  6. 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  7. 1 tbsp lime juice
  8. 1 egg yolk
  9. 150 ml neutral oil (like sunflower or grapeseed)
  10. 1 small gherkin, finely chopped
  11. 1 tbsp capers, chopped
  12. 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

Method

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar and olive oil. Add the shallots and chives, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. In a small food processor, combine the Dijon mustard, lime juice and egg yolk. Blend until combined. With the processor running, gradually drizzle in the neutral oil until the mixture is fully emulsified. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the chopped gherkin, capers and parsley.

Chef's Tip

Tiger prawns are perfect served chilled because their natural sweetness and firm texture shine when paired with sharp, fresh sauces. The shallot vinaigrette adds brightness and acidity that lifts the seafood beautifully, while the creamy tartare-style sauce brings richness, herbs, and texture for balance. Serving the prawns over crushed ice keeps them fresh and elegant, making this dish ideal for entertaining or warm-weather seafood dining.
