Prawn Cocktail
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Prawns
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and season with salt. Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain.
Chill the Prawns
Transfer the cooked prawns to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Prepare the Pickled Celery
If using store-bought pickled celery, slice into bite-sized pieces. If making your own, soak celery in vinegar, salt, and sugar for at least an hour.
Assemble the Cocktail
In a serving bowl, combine the chilled prawns with smoked cocktail sauce. Add the pickled celery and gently toss to combine.
Serve
Garnish the prawn cocktail with lemon wedges and fresh parsley. Serve chilled.
