Prawn Cocktail Recipe
A bed of crisp iceberg lettuce is topped with diced tomato and avocado, cold cooked prawns and a creamy cocktail sauce. We prefer to use medium prawns in this recipe - they are more tender than large prawns and less annoying to peel than small ones.
Serves 4 as an entree.
500g medium cooked prawns
A few leaves of iceberg lettuce
1 medium (about 155g) tomato
1 small avocado
Lemon slices, for serving
Prepare cocktail sauce (see recipe below). Cover and refrigerate.
Peel and devein prawns. We reserved four unpeeled prawns to garnish the cocktails.
Finely shred lettuce leaves (you will need about 1 cup of loosely packed shredded lettuce). Divide lettuce between four serving glasses or dishes. Dice tomato and avocado and divide between glasses.
Arrange prawns on top of each salad and drizzle with cocktail sauce.
Decorate each cocktail with a slice of lemon and an unpeeled prawn, if desired. Serve immediately.

Hi Amanda & Debbie,
Just wanted to thank you for this recipe.
I had some fresh prawns and wanted a cocktail sauce recipe to go with them
I stumbled across your blog today just in time. I made your sauce recipe without the gherkin relish because at the last minute I found I didn't have any, but it was still very good.
Took me back to the 70's!!!!
Thanks again.
I must try some of your other recipes now that I've found you.
Hi can you tell me what brand of gherkin relish you used?
Thank you.

Hi Lochydc,
We use Masterfoods gherkin relish.
Hi, I tried your receipe and added chopped corriander, mint, onion and capsicum. I also chopped up the prawns into small bite size pieces. It was really lovely. A lovely refreshing salad that we will definately have again and again. Thanks Monica
hi amanda and debbie,
i would like to say that i abseloutly adore your site! your recipes are great! can i ask what gherkin relish is? and can you please specify what you mean by tomatoe sauce? can i use tomatoe paste?
thank you
The gherkin relish that we use contains gherkins, sugar, water, starch, vinegar, salt and mustard seeds. We purchase it in a jar from the supermarket. Tomato sauce is also known as ketchup. Is ketchup available where you live?
