Notes

Keep Fresh - If you’re planning to serve this salad outside (especially in summer), it can be a good idea to use stainless steel platters or bowls layered on a bed of ice. This will help keep the lettuce leaves crisp and fresh.
Storage - Leftover prawn cocktail salad will last around 2-3 days in the fridge in an airtight container. This salad is not suitable for freezing.
Individual Serves - Go for the traditional prawn cocktail presentation in individual glasses, portioned out into lettuce cups, or tucked into fresh mini slider buns.
Garnishes - Use fresh herbs like chives, dill, parsley, mint or chervil to tweak the flavour.
Sauce - Mix things up completely with a totally different sauce, such as spicy mango sauce or Thai chilli lime sauce. They go perfectly with prawns!
Love Citrus? - Serve with fresh lemon or lime wedges.
