Prawn Cocktail

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 450 g small peeled cooked prawns
• 200 g salad cream
• 3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 drops tabasco sauce
• 3 heads little gem lettuce
• 1 tablespoon pink peppercorns, crushed

Recipe

• 1 make sure the prawns are drained well of their briny liquid.
• 2 mix the salad cream, ketchup, lemon juice and tabasco in a bowl.
• 3 tip in the prawns and mix to coat them in the marie-rose sauce.
• 4 finally shred the lettuce, and arrange as a bed on six small plates or shallow bowls.
• 5 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.
• 6 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.
