1
Prepare the prawns
In a pot of boiling salted water, add the large prawns and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove them from the pot and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
2
Prepare the salad base
In a large serving bowl, add the shredded lettuce leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and diced avocado. Toss gently to combine.
3
Combine the prawns and sauce
Once the prawns have cooled, drain them from the ice bath and pat them dry with paper towels. Add the prawns to the salad base and pour the cocktail sauce over the mixture. Gently toss to ensure everything is well coated.
4
Serve
Spoon the prawn cocktail into serving glasses or bowls. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
