PRAWN COCKTAIL

This is a classic and for me never loses its appeal.  It's a perfect starter and so easy to make too!

INGREDIENTS
Little Gem Lettuce  / Iceberg Lettuce
Cooked Prawns

Marie Rose Sauce
4 Parts Mayonnaise
1 Part Tomato Ketchup
Tabasco

Garnish
Paprika
Lemon

METHOD
Shred the lettuce and place in the bottom of chilled glasses.  Toss the cooked prawns in the Marie Rose sauce and pile on top of the lettuce.  Dust with a little paprika.  Serve with a lemon wedge balanced on the side of the glass.  Traditionally this is also served with brown bread and butter, with the crusts removed and cut into triangles

NOTE If you use frozen prawns make sure you defrost them thoroughly and drain off any liquid before mixing with the Marie Rose sauce.

You can also use the prawn mixture to serve with melon as alternative starter, see 3 Melon Starters
