Prawn cocktail with brown bread and butter

The retro favourite, and still a good one: cooked prawns in a pink Marie Rose sauce on crisp little gem leaves, with a dusting of paprika and buttered bread on the side.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Stir the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and a squeeze of lemon together. Taste: it should be tangy and gently sweet.
  2. Fold the prawns through the sauce. Cover and chill until you're ready to eat (it'll keep for a few hours).
  3. Put the shredded lettuce in small glasses or bowls, spoon the prawns on top and dust with a pinch of paprika. Serve with lemon wedges and buttered bread.
