prawn cocktail

A classic Prawn Cocktail recipe! Juicy prawns (shrimp) tossed in a beautiful Prawn Cocktail Sauce (Rose Marie Sauce - a pink mayonnaise). The key to a good Rose Marie Sauce is a good mayonnaise. Use whole-egg if you can find it . (Note 1) A classic Aussie summer festive starter!

Prawn Cocktail!!!

iceberg lettuce, finely sliced

Lemon wedges

parsley ((optional))

mayonnaise

tbsp ketchup (or Australian/UK tomato sauce (Note 3))

Worcestershire sauce

tabasco sauce ((to taste))

cayenne pepper

If you are using whole prawns, remove heads and peel them. Leave a few whole for decorative purposes, if you wish. I find that with medium size already cooked prawns, deveining is usually not necessary (it's hard to do + so small it's barely noticeably especially with sauce).

Mix together Sauce in a small bowl.

Toss prawns with Sauce.

Place a bit of lettuce in serving dishes. I like to use Martini glasses, but you can use any small serving vessel, or even small lettuce cups.

Top with prawns. Serve, garnished with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley, if using.

Juicy prawns served on a bed of crisp lettuce with a tangy, creamy sauce is the perfect starter to a special meal or great on its own as a light lunch. Served with some buttered wholegrain bread and enjoy!
