Prawn & Avocado Sandwich

1 Slice of Burgen Soya and linseed bread or wholemeal bread
1 Ttbsp crème fraîche
2 Pinches of paprika
1 Lemon
Handful of rocket
1 Avocado, thinly sliced
Olive oil
4 Raw King Prawns

Spread over the Soya and linseed bread
Add a handful of rocket and the sliced avocado
Heat the olive oil in a pan and stir fry the prawns until they are pink in colour.
Place these onto the avocado

How we like it

Try using small prawns; the frozen type will be good enough, instead of cooking them, mix them with the crème fraiche
