Description

Prawn cocktail is a classic for a reason, but that doesn’t mean we can’t give it a little update every now and then! Use some of our spectacular tiger prawns to really make this dish feel special, or use a mixture of prawns (Mediterranean red shrimp and deep water rose shrimp would both work well).

We like to serve our prawn cocktail with avocado toasts to make it a bit more substantial. You could also add vegetables like thinly sliced fennel, or some sliced chilli for a spicier version.

Ingredients

1 kg tiger prawns
2 avocados, peeled and sliced thinly
1 iceberg lettuce
2 lemons
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Splash of Tabasco
A few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
White bread for toasting

Method

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the prawns in it for 3-4 minutes or until they turn completely pink. Once cooked, plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
Toast some bread, slice the avocados thinly and place them on the toast, topping with a squeeze of lemon juice, pepper and sea salt.
Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, smoked paprika, Tabasco, a squeeze of lemon juice, Worcestershire and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
Place a few iceberg lettuce leaves onto each plate and top with some of the sauce, followed by prawns. Add a lemon wedge and some avocado toasts. Serve immediately.
