Prawns and Hearts of Palm Rémoulade

This elegant prawn and hearts of palm rémoulade is a sophisticated take on a classic seafood starter. By poaching succulent prawns in a fragrant broth of thyme, bay and mustard seeds, the shellfish absorbs a delicate depth of flavour before being tossed in a creamy, herb-flecked sauce. The addition of sliced hearts of palm adds a unique, velvety texture that complements the crunch of fresh diagonal-cut celery.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates while remaining rich in protein and heart-healthy fats. It makes a wonderful light lunch or an impressive dinner party appetiser when served on crisp butter lettuce leaves. Prepare the rémoulade and prawns in advance for a stress-free meal that is both nutritious and full of bright, zesty flavour.
