Instructions

Chip, Chip, Hooray
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Drain the halloumi, slice into 1cm batons, then place into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

Pop the potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Prep the Salad
2

Meanwhile, zest and cut the lime into wedges. Trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice. Halve the baby plum tomatoes.

In a large bowl, combine the juice from half the lime with the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. 

Add the tomatoes, toss to coat, then set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, half the mayo and half the sweet chilli sauce. Set aside.

Hello Halloumi
3

When the potatoes have 15 mins remaining, remove the halloumi slices from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry. 

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the halloumi and fry until golden, turning frequently, 4-5 mins.

Add the remaining sweet chilli sauce to the pan. Turn the halloumi to glaze it, 1 min. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Fry the Prawns
4

Drain the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper.

In a medium bowl, combine the Cajun spice mix and plain flour (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper. Add the prawns and toss to coat.

Wipe out the (now empty) halloumi pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the prawns and stir-fry for 4-5 mins.

Once cooked, remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Warm the Buns
5

When everything's almost ready, slice the buns top down through the middle (but not all the way through) and pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Add the baby gem to the tomato bowl and toss to coat in the dressing.

Serve Up
6

Share the buns between your plates. Top with a handful of lettuce and the Cajun prawns. Drizzle over the zesty sweet chilli mayo. Finish with a sprinkle of chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

Serve the halloumi fries, potatoes and remaining salad alongside. Add the remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.

Dollop on the remaining mayonnaise for dipping.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty prawns and overall flavour, though some found the lime overpowering or the dish too spicy.
  • Ease of prep: Preparation was described as faffy, with multiple components requiring separate cooking steps.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing the spice level for a milder taste; some found the halloumi unnecessary and suggested simplifying.
