Tips & Secrets

  • The secret to a great prawn cocktail is using, creamy mayonnaise.
  • Always serve this dish chilled; keeping the glasses in the fridge beforehand is a pro move.
  • A tiny dash of brandy in the sauce can provide an extra layer of depth for adults.
  • Do not overcook the prawns; they should be snap-firm, not soft or mushy.
