Method:

For the mayonnaise, place the yolk, lime juice, vinegar and a good pinch of sea salt flakes in a food processor and whiz to combine. With the motor running, add the light olive oil in a slow, steady stream until you have a thick, glossy mayonnaise. Add the chipotle chillies and barbecue sauce, then whiz until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.

Place the olive oil in a frypan over medium heat. Cook garlic and chilli, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until softened. Stir in the lime zest and a little water if needed, then increase heat to medium-high. Add prawns and cook, turning, for 3-4 minutes or until just cooked.

Place prawns on a serving plate and spoon over a little garlic oil from the pan. Serve warm or cold with chipotle mayonnaise, lime zest grinder and bread.
