This isn’t a Chinese-style deep-fried prawn toast, but a snack that makes use of herb mayonnaise – useful if you have some left over from a batch, and if you don’t, this is a good excuse to make some! You could top the toasts with sliced fresh chilli if you want these to be spicier, or try adding diced tomatoes and a little feta for a riff on prawn saganaki.

To make the mayonnaise, place the egg yolks and mustard into the bowl of an electric mixer. Slowly begin adding the flavourless oil drip by drip. Then, in a thin stream, slowly add the olive oil in the same way. Add the lemon juice and garlic and whisk to combine. Season with salt and stir through the chopped herbs
