A simple yet delicious recipe for Prawn cocktail. This version of a Marie rose style sauce is the best I have ever tasted, If I don’t say so myself!
Sauce recipe
2 tbsp full fat mayonnaise
1 tbsp single cream
1 tsp tomato ketchup
1/4 tsp Smoked paprika
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp worchester sauce
Juice of 1/4 lemon
A sprinkle of black pepper
Method: Combine and mix well in a bowl, taste test and adjust quantities to taste if requited. Transfer to airtight container ready for serving. The sauce keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Serving: I always use large north atlantic prawns as I think they have the best flavour and texture for a prawn cocktail. I use iceberg lettuce and a nice mixture of good quality baby plum or cherry tomatoes.
