Prawn Cocktail Dinner Bowl Recipes

PRAWN COCKTAIL!!!

Steps:

• If you are using whole prawns, remove heads and peel them. Leave a few whole for decorative purposes, if you wish. I find that with medium size already cooked prawns, deveining is usually not necessary (it's hard to do + so small it's barely noticeably especially with sauce).
• Mix together Sauce in a small bowl.
• Toss prawns with Sauce.
• Place a bit of lettuce in serving dishes. I like to use Martini glasses, but you can use any small serving vessel, or even small lettuce cups.
• Top with prawns. Serve, garnished with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley, if using.

PRAWN COCKTAIL DINNER BOWL

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, 1/2 the oil and 1/2 the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add zucchini. Stir to coat. Let stand, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in mint.
• Meanwhile, heat a greased barbecue grill (charcoal, gas or electric) on medium-high heat. Combine garlic and remaining oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Brush each side of bread with oil mixture. Chargrill for 1 to 2 minutes each side or until toasted. Transfer to a plate. Increase heat to high. Drizzle shrimp with remaining lemon juice. Sprinkle with paprika. Toss to coat. Cook shrimp, turning, for 5 to 7 minutes or until cooked through.
• Make Marie Rose Sauce: Place all ingredients in a small bowl and stir together until smooth and combined. (You can do this while the zucchini is standing.)
• Arrange lettuce, zucchini, avocado, shrimp and cornichons in serving bowls. Drizzle with a little sauce. Serve with chargrilled bread and remaining sauce.

CLASSIC PRAWN COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Peel all but four of the prawns (reserve these for the tops). Break the lettuces into individual leaves, then divide the leaves evenly between four small glass bowls. Sprinkle the prawns over the lettuce and season with black pepper.
• Mix the mayonnaise, tomato chutney, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish and Tabasco together. Season to taste with lemon juice and salt and pepper, then spoon sparingly over the prawns. Dust the top with a little paprika and sprinkle with chives. Top with the remaining prawns and serve immediately. Delicious with brown bread.
