4 sprigs Watercress
4 sprigs Basil
250g flour

Tablespoon of milk
Saffron oil
10ml oil
Pinch of saffron
La Yu Chilli oil (three drops)
Seasoning to taste
Pre heat oven to 180°C. To make the shortcrust pastry, sift flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the egg, salt, sugar, chopped butter and rub ingredients together with the fingertips of your right hand, drawing the flour into the well with your left hand. When all ingredients are completely mixed, add the milk and knead the dough two or three times with the heel of your hand to make it smooth. Do not overwork it. Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for several hours before use.
To prepare the seafood, begin by de-veining and de-shelling the prawns, leaving the tail on for presentation. Completely remove the bug meat from the shell. Refrigerate.
Mix the garlic, onion and coriander with the capsicum. In a triangle mould, first place the capsicum, then the cucumber followed by the tomato. Press and allow to set in the refrigerator for half an hour.
To make the dressing combine the lemon and lime juice, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the lemon pressed olive oil and season to taste. Wash herbs and set aside.
Gently heat 10ml of olive oil in a frypan and remove from the heat. Add the saffron and reserve for later use.
Roll out the shortcrust, and cut off thin strips. Spiral wrap strips around a cream horn and bake in oven at 180 degrees. Remove when golden brown.
Heat a medium to large pan. Add olive oil and place the bug meat first, followed by the prawns. Season.
Take salsa out of the refrigerator, cut the bugs in half and place one on each of the stacks. Remove moulds and add herb garnish. Place prawn to the side, drizzle with dressing, finishing with saffron oil and chilli oil. Place spiral on top.
