BEGINNINGS
Prepare the Prawns
In a pot of boiling salted water, add the peeled and deveined prawns. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain.
Chill the Prawns
Transfer the cooked prawns into a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process. Leave them in the ice water for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Prepare the Serving Dish
Take a serving platter and arrange the lettuce leaves at the bottom to create a bed for the prawns.
Mix the Sauces
In a small bowl, combine the cocktail sauce and Sauce Marie Rose. Adjust the flavor with lemon juice to taste.
Assemble the Cocktail
Place the chilled prawns on top of the lettuce leaves. Drizzle the sauce mixture generously over the prawns.
Garnish
Sprinkle paprika over the top for garnish. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
