Editorial Notes
The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe. They're offered for convenience, alternative ideas, and points of interest. If you have any comments about them, please post in the Help & Ideas forum.
- If you cannot find phyllo pastry, you can use puff pastry instead.
- For the olive tapenade, you can make your own or buy it from the store.
- Substitute the shrimp with a white fish such as cod or haddock. The benefit of this substitution is that it will provide more of a mild flavor, making the dish more accessible to those who may not enjoy the stronger taste of shrimp.
- Substitute the mayonnaise in the dipping sauce with Greek yogurt. The benefit of this substitution is that it provides a healthier alternative while still providing the same creamy texture and flavor.
Vegetarian Variation Replace the prawns with a mix of mushrooms, diced carrots, and diced celery. Follow the same instructions as the original recipe.
Roasted Asparagus with Garlic: This simple side dish of roasted asparagus with garlic is the perfect accompaniment to the prawn mousse rolls or triangles. The asparagus is roasted in the oven with garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper, and the result is a delicious and flavorful vegetable side dish that complements the flavor of the prawn mousse.
Crispy Baked Potatoes: Crispy baked potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to the prawn mousse rolls or triangles. The potatoes are cut into wedges, tossed with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, and then baked in the oven until golden and crispy. The potatoes are a great option for a side dish, as they are flavorful and crunchy and will complement the flavor of the prawn mousse.
