Welcome back to My Kitchen Table, I think everyone is keen and wants to know what is the golden bundle. It is fresh prawns mixed with prawns mousse wrapped in delicate egg pastry, shaped like a bundle then poached in stock. Served with mango sauce.

I serve one per person, but two bundles a serve are alright.  Beautiful prawns dish for Summer Feast. Perfect and Delicious.
