Pulse half the prawns with garlic until coarsely chopped. Mix with the remaining chopped prawns, minced garlic, green onion, salt and pepper. Divide into 4 portions and roll into balls. Coat each in flour, then egg wash, then panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Flip and coat the other side evenly with breadcrumbs.
2
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the prawn patties for 2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Spread Bang Bang Sauce on the bottom bun, top with the cooked prawn patty, then add sliced gherkins and shredded lettuce. Spread more sauce on the top bun and close the burger. Serve immediately.
