Ingredients List
800g cooked Tiger Prawns, peeled and deveined
4 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp lemon juice
A few drops of Tabasco (optional, for heat)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)
Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish (optional)
Steps
If your tiger prawns are not pre-peeled, begin by peeling and deveining them after they are cooked. If the prawns are already cooked, simply peel and devein them as needed.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), and paprika to make the cocktail sauce. Stir until smooth and well combined.
On a serving platter, create a base with chopped iceberg lettuce. This will hold the prawns and add a crisp texture.
Arrange the cooked, peeled tiger prawns on top of the lettuce, fanning them out to create an attractive display.
Spoon the cocktail sauce over the prawns or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices for added flavour and decoration.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or starter. Enjoy your Tiger Prawn Cocktail!
