method
1. Shell the prawns, except for the very tail ends. If desired, the prawns may be completely shelled.
2. Combine the mustard, horseradish, paprika, chilli pepper, garlic and salt in a deep bowl. Mix in the vinegar thoroughly.
3. Add the oil in a thin, steady stream while beating constantly with a small whisk. Continue to beat until the sauce is smooth and thick. Add the spring onions, celery, bay leaves and chopped parsley. Cover the bowl tightly and leave in the refrigerator for several hours, or overnight.
4. Two hours before serving, add the prawns to the marinade and stir to coat them well. Leave in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
5. To serve, shred the lettuce finely and place on individual serving plates. Arrange the prawns on top and spoon over some of the marinade to serve, discarding the bay leaves.
