To make the citrus aioli. Place the egg yolks, garlic, lemon and lime zest, xylitol, lemon juice and sea salt in a food processor and beat until smooth. Season with a little black pepper. With the machine running slowly drizzle in the oils. Keep blending to form a thick, creamy mayonnaise. Store in the fridge until needed.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle pan until hot. Remove the prawns from the marinade and place on the griddle pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the one side until golden then turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes until cooked through.
To serve spoon a little aioli on each oatcake, top with a couple of rocket leaves and a prawn.
