Notes

• Prawn cocktails may be incredibly out of fashion but they are a considered a classic for a very good reason – with good fresh prawns, the combination of the sweet meat with the tangy cocktail sauce can’t be beaten!
• I prefer to make my Prawn cocktails all about the goodness of the prawns, but you could make this more of a meal – and more fancy – by adding a salad of diced avocado and tomato. And chopped iceberg lettuce never goes astray either!
