This recipe is a delicious fusion of seafood goodness that’s as easy to make as it is to eat.
We have succulent jumbo king prawns and tender crab meat nestled in crisp baby gem lettuce cups, topped with a tangy miso dressing that adds just the right amount of punch.
With a pop of freshness from baby tomatoes and a satisfying crunch from garlic & herb croutons, each bite is a burst of flavour and texture.
The vibrant filling is cradled in crisp baby gem lettuce leaves, making them easy to pick up and enjoy.
Finished with bright herbs, a sprinkle of smoky paprika and a squeeze of lemon juice, these flavour-packed bites are perfect for a relaxed summer lunch or effortless starter.
Best of all, they come together in minutes using a handful of ingredients you’ll likely already have in the fridge and cupboard. Simple to make but brimming with flavour – you’ll be going back for seconds of these light and lively seafood cups.
