Method
- In a medium bowl, combine prawns, ginger, garlic, and chilli. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate for 2-3 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven or combi-steam oven on Full Steam at 80°C for 10 minutes.
- Finely chop a handful of the Thai basil leaves. In a separate bowl, mix the Kewpie mayonnaise, Sriracha mayonnaise, lime juice, and the chopped Thai basil until smooth.
- Arrange the marinated prawns in a single layer on a perforated steamer tray.
- Slide the tray into the oven and steam at 80°C for 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of the prawns.
- The prawns are ready when they turn pink, opaque, and are firm to the touch.
- Remove the tray carefully from the oven; allow the prawns to cool fully at room temperature.
- The focaccia is ready when crisp and golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Combine the cooled prawns with the mayonnaise sauce and toss gently to coat.
- Spoon the prawn mixture directly into the pre-washed lettuce cups, top with whole Thai basil leaves, coriander, and crispy onions, then serve.
