Prawn Cocktail Recipe

Prawn cocktail is a well know recipe throughout England and was very popular in the 1970's. Originally you would use small Atlantic prawns but I used king prawns instead as they are bigger and more succulent.

No cooking required (served cold).

Recipe Ingredients

1 Small Little Gem Lettuce
1/4 Cucumber
20 Cooked King Prawns
1 Avocado
3tbsp Mayonnaise
1tsp Ketchup
1/2tsp Sun Dried Tomato Paste
Pinch Paprika
1 Lemon

Method for Sauce

1. Mix the mayonnaise with the ketchup.
2. Add the paprika and stir.
3. Add the sun dried tomato paste.
4. Cut the lemon in half and give a good squeeze and mix (be careful not to get any pips in it).

Recipe Method

1. Shred the lettuce into small strips and place in the bowl/glass
2. Cut the cucumber into rings, quarter the rings and place in the bowl/glass (cut the rings fairly chunky).
3. Cut chunks of ripe avocado and place in the bowl/glass.
4. Stir prawns gently into the sauce.

Garnish with a piece of lemon and a pinch of paprika.
