Instructions
  1. Clean and devein the shrimp/ prawns.
  2. Mix 1 liter of water with 1 tablespoon of chilli powder and 1 tablespoon of salt. After the water starts boiling furiously , add the clean prawns and cook for just a few minutes until they are curled up and pink. The time will vary depending on the size. Strain and cool.
  3. Make mayonnaise using a food processor. Place 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons vinegar, ½ teaspoon mustard powder, ¼ teaspoon pepper powder, 1 ½ teaspoons salt and 3 teaspoons sugar in the bowl and turn the switch on for a few seconds to blend. Pour in the oil in a thin stream until the mayonnaise is thick and creamy. This will take a few minutes.
  4. Chop the tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes until reduced. Cool and puree.
  5. Mix the tomato puree into the mayonnaise. Taste and add salt if required.
  6. Chop the remaining vegetables into tiny pieces except for the red radish . The radish should be sliced into thin circles with a red edge. The chopped vegetables should be approximately 2 cups.
  7. Mix the vegetables with the tomato flavoured mayonnaise. Add cooked shrimp and gently mix . Chill in fridge at least for 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Serve in small individual bowls.
