PRAWN (SHRIMP) COCKTAIL
A simple appetizer that's always a pleaser. I like to use avocado and grape or cherry tomatoes. If these aren't in season use seasonal salad/veggie items or fruits. Rockmelon or mango are good for variety, as is sliced capsicum (peppers), purple onion and cucumber. You can use your choice of mayo or seafood dressing to top of this cocktail if desired. Makes 4 but easily adapted to more or less. You can really use any quantities of ingredients to your preference. If gluten-free check your mayo or topping is also gluten-free. You can use any lettuce of your choice- shred if required

Steps:
- To prepare prawns -remove heads and peel. I like to leave the tails intact for presentation (though if serving to children may be better to fully peel their prawns). Set aside.
- Layer lettuce leaves in the bottom of 4 small bowls. Top with 7 prawns to each bowl. Place them so that they can be seen around the edges of the bowl. Reserve remaining prawns.
- In a separate bowl combine chopped avocado and halved cherries. Mix and coat thoroughly with the juice of half a lemon. Place on top of the bowls of lettuce and prawns- share out amongst the 4 bowls.
- Top the cocktails with the remaining prawns (3 each bowl). Sprinkle with some herbs if desired and add some mayo or seafood sauce of your choice.

Steps:
- Make sure the prawns are drained well of their briny liquid.
- Mix the salad cream, ketchup, lemon juice and Tabasco in a bowl.
- Tip in the prawns and mix to coat them in the Marie-Rose sauce.
- Finally shred the lettuce, and arrange as a bed on six small plates or shallow bowls.
- Divide the prawns in their sauce on the centre of each plate in a kind of pyramid, and then scatter with roughly crushed peppercorns or dust with paprika.
- As long as the prawns were properly thawed and drained before you started immersing them in their famous coral pink sauce, it does not matter if they sit for a good few hours in the fridge before being dolloped out onto their lettuce-lined dishes.
PRAWN (SHRIMP) COCKTAIL
A fairly traditional Australian prawn cocktail recipe with the addition of some tomato and corn to garnish. It always tastes best if you use prawns just freshly cooked but then cooled in the fridge a while.
