Ingredients

Prawns

Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce

Preparation

Preparation of Prawns

1. Poach the Prawns

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add bay leaves, lemon slices, fennel seeds, and salt. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavors. Add the prawns and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Transfer prawns to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once chilled, drain and set aside.

Preparation of Cocktail Sauce

2. Mix the Cocktail Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, and celery salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Serving

3. Serve the Prawn Cocktail

Arrange the poached prawns on a serving platter or individual cocktail glasses. Serve with the Bloody Mary cocktail sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with lemon wedges and additional horseradish if desired.
