About the recipe
An American prohibition classic; I made thousands of these in my parents’ pub in the 80s. Prawn cocktail is nostalgic, retro, and just a tiny bit naff, but in a really brilliant way. People love it, and, if it’s done well, it’s always memorable.

Top Tip
The lovely thing about this recipe is that it’s very flexible. You can use everyday frozen prawns, which are very delicious, or even get yourself some lobster or freshly picked crabmeat and really dress it up – it’s up to you. Enjoy!
