Prepare the mayo. In the jar of the minipimer pour the milk, the vinegar, the mustard, the turmeric, the salt and the lemon juice. Blend with the minipimer and at the same time pour slowly the oil. Go on in this way until you get the desired consistency. Add to the mayo the ketchup sauce and, if you like to make the sauce tastier, also a teaspoon of brandy. Cook the prawns, deveined and peeled, for a few minutes in boiling water, slightly salty, then cut them into pieces, peel the pineapple and cut the pulp into cubes. Mix in the pink sauce both the prawns and the pineapple. On a plate put the lettuce leaves and then the pink sauce with prawns and pineapple.
