Prawn Cocktail is a timeless retro appetizer that remains a symbol of sophisticated entertaining. This refreshing dish features tender boiled prawns served on a bed of crisp lettuce, drizzled with a creamy and tangy Marie Rose sauce. The sauce, made from a blend of mayonnaise, ketchup, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce, provides a lovely pink hue and a savory-sweet flavor. Its taste is bright, creamy, and cool, making it a perfect palate cleanser before a main course. This dish is ideally served chilled in a martini glass for a truly classic presentation.

Tips & Secrets

  • The secret to a great prawn cocktail is using high-quality, creamy mayonnaise.
  • Always serve this dish chilled; keeping the glasses in the fridge beforehand is a pro move.
