- Mix the onion with half the lemon juice. Set aside, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, mix together the remoulade ingredients with 1 tsp lemon juice. Chill both for up to 24 hrs.
- Pat the prawns dry, then carefully slice down the back of each prawn to butterfly. Mix the paprika, oregano and flour, then toss with the prawns. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat; scatter in the prawns, shaking of any excess flour. Fry for 2-3 mins, turning, until cooked through.
- Split the petit pains as you would a hot dog bun, spread with the remoulade and stuf with shredded lettuce and prawns. Top with the lemony onions, plus sliced gherkins (if using), to serve.
