Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 kg / 2 lb medium fresh cooked or raw prawns with shell and heads on ((yields ~600g once peeled); OR)
600 g / 1.2 lb fresh cooked prawns already peeled
About 3 cup iceberg lettuce, finely sliced
Lemon wedges
Finely chopped parsley ((optional))
2/3 cup / 165 ml mayonnaise (, preferably good quality whole egg mayonnaise (Note 2))
1 tbsp ketchup (or Australian/UK tomato sauce (Note 3))
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp freshly grated horseradish ((or sub 1 1/2 tsp jarred OR 3/4 tsp wasabi))
Dash of tabasco sauce ((to taste))
Pinch of cayenne pepper ((to taste + tiny bit of colour))

Steps:

  • 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.

PRAWN COCKTAIL SAUCE



Prawn Cocktail Sauce image

This recipe was given to me by mother-in-law 28 years ago and she's been using it for over 40 years, she got it out of the newspaper where someone had written in and requested the recipe when they had it at a Sydney restaurant. It keeps well in the fridge and the flavour will increase with time. Have not included chilling time. Handy hint - when we have family gatherings we double the mix but don't put in the tabasco sauce and then split the mix between 3 jars and in the first jar put 3/4 teaspoon, the second jar 1 1/4 teaspoon and the third 2 teaspoons so you have a mild version, a hot and super hot and if there is someone who would like it hotter still give them a small bowl and a bottle of tabasco and they can add more to their serve.

Making a prawn cocktail could not be simpler. Put down that supermarket-bought marie rose sauce, because all you need is mayo and ketchup and you're basically there.

Categories     appetizers     seafood

Time 5m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

600 g cooked and peeled King prawns
200 g mayonnaise
50 g tomato ketchup
1 tsp. malt whisky
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper, to season
3 avocados, thinly sliced
3 little gem lettuce, leaves picked

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix together the mayo, ketchup, lemon juice, cayenne, whisky and salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl add the prawns and pat dry with a paper towel to get rid of any excess liquid. Pour over the marie rose sauce and mix together well.
  • In small bowls or large glasses add little gem lettuce as the base. Top with the prawn cocktail, this mixture is enough for six people, or four larger portions. Sprinkle a little more cayenne on top if you desire and finish by garnishing with thin slices of avocado. Serve with buttered brown bread and a lemon slice if you want to go old school classic.
