Method
Preparing the Prawns
Cook the Prawns
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
Drain and Cool
Remove the prawns from the pot and drain them in a colander. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Making the Tangy Sauce
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more horseradish or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Assembling the Prawn Cocktail
Layer Ingredients
On a serving plate or in cocktail glasses, place a bed of shredded lettuce. Top with cooked prawns, diced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add the Sauce
Drizzle the tangy sauce generously over the prawns and garnish with lemon wedges.
