    Instructions

    1

    For the mayonnaise, place the egg yolk, mustard and vinegar in a food processor. While the blade is running, add the oil in a thin stream, allowing the mixture to come together slowly.

    2

    When all the oil is incorporated, add a small squeeze of lemon juice and the yoghurt and season. Set aside.

    3

    For the salad, heat a pan and add the bacon and allow it to cook in its own fat until golden. Add the shrimp and garlic and fry until the shrimp is cooked, about 2 minutes.

    4

    Remove from the heat and stir in the spring onion, chives and 45ml (3 tbsp) of the mayonnaise. Adjust seasoning.

    5

    To serve, place a lettuce leaf on each plate, add the avocado and top with the shrimp mixture and caper berries.

    6

    Season the potatoes and drizzle with mayonnaise. Serve alongside the boats.
