Direction :
First, place the potatoes into a pan and top with cold water and a large pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked.
Then, in a food mixer with a blade or a paddle, add the butter and mix on a high speed for 2 to 3 minutes. To soften and lighten the texture, add the lemon juice, Worcester sauce and spice and continue mixing. Add the chopped parsley and spoon out into a bowl before folding through the shrimp and seasoning.
Drain the hot potatoes and spoon on a generous spoon of the shrimp butter and allow to melt a little before serving.
Preheat the oven to 200c
For the prawns, divide the prawns into 2 ovenproof dishes.
Season with salt, and add the chilli flakes, lemon rind and roasted garlic. Cover in oil and pimento, then roast for 2 to 3 minutes.
Once done roasting, sprinkle over the parsley.
Heat a deep fat fryer until hot.
Put the prawns and egg white into a mini food processor and blitz until smooth, then season.
Spread over the bread, top with sesame seeds, cut into triangles and deep fry for 1 minute. Finally, drain onto kitchen paper.
