    Bring a pan of well-salted water to a bare simmer, not a boil.

  4. 4
    Whisk the mayonnaise, yoghurt, ketchup, half the lemon juice, Tabasco and dill into a dressing and season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6
    Fold the cold prawns and cucumber through the dressing.

    Add the avocado last with a light hand, arrange on the lettuce leaves and serve cold.
