Poor man's crayfish
Poor man's crayfish is a simple starter, made with a can of tuna mixed with a tangy Marie Rose sauce. I normally prepare it the day before and leave it overnight in the refrigerator so the flavours have time to develop. Serve it on a bed of lettuce for a deliciously light appetiser that will really get the taste buds going.
Ingredients
- 5.5 ounces / 160 gram can tuna in brine
- 1 small onion or shallot (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or other hot sauce to your own taste)
- Lettuce (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons mini shrimp or prawns
- 6 - 8 cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Lemon slices
Instructions
- 1
Drain the tuna and discard the liquid.
- 2
Peel the onion or shallot and chop finely. You will need approximately 2 tablespoons chopped onion.
- 3
Place the drained tuna and chopped onion into a mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise, tomato ketchup and Tabasco sauce.
- 4
Mix well to combine and then cover with a lid or plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavours develop.
- 5
Serve on a bed of lettuce and optionally add garnishes to your own taste.
