Pound chilli, garlic and ginger in a mortar and pestle until a paste has formed. Mix in sugar and fish sauce until dissolved, then add lime juice. Stir dressing into carrot and stand for at least 15 minutes
Toss prawns in oil, pepper and extra garlic and marinate for 10 minutes. Mix extra chilli, lime rind, juice and cream cheese in a seperate bowl
Just before serving, toss herbs through the carrot mixture and set aside. Season prawns with salt, then cook in a hot frypan or barbecue for 1-2 minutes each side until just cooked through
Serve salad, cream cheese, prawns and a bowl of buns seperately and allow people to create their own sliders by spreading with lime and chilli cream cheese, topping with 2 warm prawns and some herb and carrot salad
Tips & Hints:
Drain some of the dressing off the herb salad before assembling sliders to avoid buns becoming soggy. Sour cream can be substituted for the cream cheese, if desired. Soft white buns are available at Asian-style bakeries. Try substituting with brioche.
