Our prawns come already cooked, so this is just thaw, chill and serve. The homemade sauce takes two minutes and tastes far better than store-bought.
Serves: 4 as a starter | Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: none
Ingredients
- 1 lb Cooked Tail-On Prawns, thawed
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 to 2 tbsp prepared horseradish
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, plus lemon wedges
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- A few drops of hot sauce
- Crisp lettuce leaves and chopped parsley, to serve
Method
- Thaw the prawns overnight in the fridge, or in a sealed bag under cold running water for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Pat them dry and keep them cold in the fridge until serving.
- Stir together the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce. Taste and add more horseradish for more kick.
- Line small glasses or a platter with lettuce, hang the prawns around the edge and spoon the sauce in the middle.
- Finish with parsley and lemon wedges.
Tips
- Serve within 2 hours of setting out, or keep the platter on ice.
- Leftover prawns are great in salads, pasta or a quick stir-fry. Just warm them through, don't recook them.
Safe to eat: These prawns are fully cooked. Keep them cold and eat within 2 days of thawing.
