In a bowl, mix the crème fraiche with the horseradish and a season with salt and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the lemon juice, zest, honey and seasoning and then whisk in the olive oil. Place the crab meat and prawns on to 4 plates and top each plate with a quarter of the horseradish cream. Place the avocado slices on top and toss the salad leaves in most of the dressing. Pile the leaves on top and drizzle the remaining dressing around the plate.

You could replace the crab meat for 8 slices of smoked salmon, if you prefer.
