Ingredients
2
large egg yolks
1
tsp Dijon mustard
125
ml vegetable oil
Dash
of Tabasco sauce
2
Tbs Amarula
2
Tbs brandy, such as Van Ryn’s 10 Year Old Vintage brandy
2
Tbs tomato sauce
Juice
of ½ lemon
¼
tsp salt
1/8
tsp freshly ground black pepper
400
g cooked and cleaned shrimp
2
large avocados
1
head of iceberg lettuce
1
tin cooked crab or fish
¼
teaspoon paprika, for garnishing
Method
Amarula cocktail sauce
Place
the egg yolks and mustard in a mixing bowl and beat with a whisk. Gradually add
the oil to the mixture, constantly whisking until it emulsifies to the
consistency of mayonnaise. Add the Amarula, a dash of Tabasco sauce, brandy,
tomato sauce, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and mix well. Set aside.
Crab/fish and prawns
Cut
the cooked and cleaned shrimp into cubes. Remove the crab/fish from the
tin and drain. Combine the prawns and crab/fish with the Amarula cocktail sauce
in a large bowl and mix well. Set aside.
Halve
the avocados, remove the pits, but don’t peel. Place equal amounts of the
shrimp and crab/fish, already mixed with the Amarula cocktail sauce, in the pit
hollows of the avocado halves, filling them and creating mounds. Arrange beds
of iceberg lettuce leaves on salad plates and place a stuffed avocado half on
each and serve.
Serves 4.
