b) Trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

c) Zest the whole lemon, then juice one half and cut the other half into wedges.

d) In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice and half the sambal paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder) with the tomato ketchup, olive oil and sugar (see pantry for all three amounts). Mix well until combined.

Pep up your Prawns
