The classic dish, loved the world over. This recipe comes from Nigella Lawson, and really is a lot simpler then you might think to prepare.

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

450 g small peeled cooked prawns
200 g salad cream
3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 drops Tabasco sauce
3 heads little gem lettuce
1 tablespoon pink peppercorns, crushed

Steps:

  • Make sure the prawns are drained well of their briny liquid.
  • Mix the salad cream, ketchup, lemon juice and Tabasco in a bowl.
  • Tip in the prawns and mix to coat them in the Marie-Rose sauce.
  • Finally shred the lettuce, and arrange as a bed on six small plates or shallow bowls.
  • Divide the prawns in their sauce on the centre of each plate in a kind of pyramid, and then scatter with roughly crushed peppercorns or dust with paprika.
  • As long as the prawns were properly thawed and drained before you started immersing them in their famous coral pink sauce, it does not matter if they sit for a good few hours in the fridge before being dolloped out onto their lettuce-lined dishes.
