Notes
a) Prawns - I use jumbo/large king prawns because they're big and juicy. I also buy them ready to eat, just for ease. You can use raw prawns and cook them up, just make sure they're deveined. If using frozen prawns thaw in the fridge first, then cook as needed. If you are cooking the prawns just make sure they completely cool before mixing with the mayo.
b) Bread - Typically store-bought prawn mayo sandwiches use oatmeal bread, but wholemeal bread does the trick. You can use seeded or regular, just make sure it's fresh and not toasted!
c) Make Ahead - You can make the prawn mayo ahead of time and tightly store in the fridge until needed. It'll last as long as the packet suggests for the prawns - typically a day or so.
d) Calories - Per sandwich.
