Preparing the Prawns
Cook the Prawns
In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the black tiger prawns. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and immediately transfer to an ice bath to cool.
Peel and Prepare
Once cooled, drain the prawns and peel them, leaving the tails intact for presentation. Squeeze lemon juice over them to enhance flavor.
Making the Cocktail Sauce
Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish sauce, chopped fresh tarragon, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well until smooth.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Arrange the chilled prawns on a serving platter. Serve with the cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
