I didn't have any suitable cocktail glass so just used a bowl.
The first version:
I made it by putting a lettuce cup in the bowl. I then shredded about one lettuce leaf and put it on top of the lettuce cup.
After than I put the prawns as decoratively as I could around the bowl. I bought them cooked from the supermarket – nice big ones. Expensive but worth it for a treat.
I put in some small lemon wedges.
I then drizzled on top a sauce I made – I call it a sauce marie rose (you may call it thousand island dressing). I just mixed more or less equal quantities of ketchup (tomato sauce), mayonnaise and crème fraiche. I seasoned it with cayenne pepper, white pepper and a smidge of salt.
Finally I sprinkled a little more cayenne pepper on top – but it could equally have been paprika.
Here's what the second version looked like:
This was
made the same way except I mixed some finely diced red onion through the bed of
shredded lettuce. And for the sauce I
added some fiery chilli sauce in – so it was a bit spicier. I enjoyed both versions.
I love a great Shrimp Cocktail, it looks awesome! Hope you have a very special Mothers Day weekend and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday this week.
