Retro Firecracker Prawn Cocktail

Features:
    Cuisine:

    The French LOVE serving Amuse Gueule (appetisers) in shot glasses! So, I thought I would concoct a special recipe to accompany our pre-dinner aperitifs this New Year! A retro 1960's starter that I believe still has a place when served for special meals and parties, and this is so simple; it's also a great idea for a large gathering, as the glasses are small enough to nibble from whilst you sip your drinks! used Mache (Lamb's Lettuce) in these prawn cocktail shots in the photos - but a selection of any seasonal salad leaves would be fine. The Firecracker comes from the addition of tabasco, pink peppercorns and cayenne pepper in the seafood sauce - adjust the quantities to suit your own taste - we like it piquant! Salut!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Calculate How Many "shots" You Are Making, and Reserve One Prawn (preferably With Tail On) For Decoration.

    2
    Done

    Mix the Mayonnaise, Ketchup, Lemon Juice and Tabasco in a Bowl, Season to Taste and Adjust Seasoning If Needed.

    3
    Done

    Take Your Shot Glasses, or Small Water Glasses and Line With Some Mixed Salad Leaves or Lettuce.

    4
    Done

    Place About 5 Prawns on Top of the Leaves/Lettuce. the Amount of Prawns Depends on What Size They Are.

    5
    Done

    Spoon Over Your Seafood Sauce and Lightly Mix Through the Prawns.

    6
    Done

    Sprinkle With the Crushed Pink Peppercorns and Cayenne Pepper, and Garnish With a Prawn Over the Edge of the Glass.

    7
    Done

    a Lemon Wedge Can Be Added as Well - but I Find It Is Fiddly to Deal With Whilst Slurping Cocktails, and the Sauce Should Be Lemony Enough!
