Preparing the Prawns
Start by cleaning the prawns well. Remove the head first. Give the tail a gentle squeeze to loosen it then pull it off.
Place both thumbs under the shell and lift it away along with the legs. Give the prawns a quick rinse in clean water to remove any sand or grit.
Trim away any discolored flesh near the head section. Make a shallow cut along the back of each prawn and lift out the intestinal tract.
Slicing the Mango
Next prepare the mango. Slice off both cheeks from the fruit. Place one cheek in your palm and cut neat slices through the soft flesh. Slide a dessert spoon between the skin and the flesh to release the slices cleanly.

Prepping the Lettuce
Set aside two large leaves from the top of the iceberg lettuce. These will form the base of your salad. Cut the rest of the lettuce into neat wedges.
Making the Dressing
In a small bowl add cream lemon juice olive oil Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and well combined creating a light creamy dressing.
Assembling the Salad
Arrange the large lettuce leaves on your platter to form a bed. Scatter the lettuce wedges over them. Place the mango slices evenly across the lettuce.
