Instructions

Marinate the prawns in the vodka, (rum or gin) for 20 minutes.
Mix together the mayonnaise with the crème fraiche, the fresh chives and Tabasco. Gently incorporate the marinated prawns and the avocado cubes.
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Stack them one in top of the other and roll them together. On a cutting board sliced the lettuce roll in fine slices.
In 4 glasses, put one layer of lettuce, one layer of prawns mayonnaise mixture, and one layer of lettuce. Place the thinly sliced kiwis around the lettuce mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and keep in the refrigerator until it is time to serve.

Notes

Pro Tips

I let the fish marinate in the vodka for the adults.
For the little ones, I let it marinate in lemon juice instead.
I do like to add the remaining vodka to my cream mixture. I suggest you try either way and see which one is your preference.
