45 minsThis iconic dish used to be the standard choice to start a flash dinner. I’ve included horseradish cream and Smoked Chipotle Tabasco in the sauce, which work really well together to create a prawn cocktail that will have people talking.
Ingredients
Method
- Using a small, sharp knife, make a cut along the back of each prawn and remove the vein. Cover prawns and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, tomato sauce, horseradish, brandy, Tabasco, Worcestershire and lemon juice. Adjust to taste as desired.
- In a bowl, add lettuce and onion and mix to combine. Divide evenly among 4 serving glasses, filling to three-quarters full and topping with avocado as you go.
- Combine prawns with half of the sauce and place evenly on each portion of lettuce.
- Sprinkle over lemon zest and cayenne pepper and serve with a lemon wedge on the side.

This is great as a starter or as part of a brunch spread.
Keep the remaining sauce in the fridge for another use. It makes a great dipping sauce for fish ’n’ chips and is an ideal dressing for pasta salad or potato salad.
