How to make Crisp Chipotle Prawns with Corn and Spring onions

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 246°C.

Stir together mayonnaise, chipotle with adobo sauce, and salt in a bowl.

Pulse 350ml corn in a food processor with water and 2 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise until coarsely puréed. Transfer mixture to a shallow 2-quart gratin dish. Stir in spring onions and remaining corn.

Toss prawns with remaining chipotle mayonnaise in bowl to coat.

Put 150g panko in another bowl, then add prawns in small batches, tossing to coat evenly and shaking off excess (add more panko if needed). Arrange prawns in 1 layer on top of corn. Roast until crumbs are golden and prawns are just cooked through, about 18 minutes.
