Steps

  1. 1
    Bring a pan of well-salted water to a bare simmer, not a boil.
  2. 2
    Slide in the prawns and poach 2-3 minutes until just pink and curled into a loose C. A tight O means overcooked.
  3. 3
    Drain and plunge straight into iced water, then dry thoroughly.
  4. 4
    Whisk the mayonnaise, yogurt, ketchup, half the lemon juice, Tabasco and dill into a dressing and season.
  5. 5
    Cube the avocado and toss it immediately with the remaining lemon juice to stop it browning.
  6. 6
    Fold the cold prawns and cucumber through the dressing.
  7. 7
    Add the avocado last with a light hand, arrange on the lettuce leaves and serve cold.
