Gently ease a prawn into the cut in each bread cube, leaving the tail sticking out. Cut 25 strips from the Nori measuring 1 cm (1/2 inch) X 15 cm (6 inch). Wrap a strip around the outside of each bread cube and secure with a toothpick.

Cook the prepared cubes in batches for 1-2 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the prawns cooked through. Drain on crumpled paper towels, remove the toothpicks and season with salt. Serve topped with a teaspoon of the mayonnaise.
