Ingredients: Tomato, Shrimp, Wild Horseradish
Item Description: A sumptuous appetizer made with freshly-caught shrimp.
Fun fact! UK and America have different types of prawn cocktails. We're doing the american one though. Because its red like the graphic, and they call them shrimps.
Look at these beast sized prawns I got. Hope they don't shrink too much once the ice is melted. You can fry or bake them or whatever, but im gonna steam them. Theyll be all juicy and stuff. Im also popping some salt and pepper on them.
Now for the sauce! Ketchup, hot sauce (im using sriracha), horseradish, a couple drops of worcestershire sauce and squeeze of lemon.
Mix it all up, its a bit light because I used a lot of horseradish but i bought it specially for this.
Tipping it into a wine glass to serve. It should really be a shallower glass like a martini glass or a pudding glass or something..? but i dont have one of these so im just gonna have to max out my dexterity when dipping!
The prawns look kinda waterlogged because I put them in the steamer bucket, but I was aware of this and it makes cleaning the steamer easier... so they're wet and juicy, what of it? They're not rubbery and still full of flavour and seasoning. I think you're supposed to chill the prawns and make them salad temperature, but i like hot food and im HUNGORY
Yeah its nice. Massive fuckin prawns, and pretty nice ones. The sauce is nice and tangy. Maybe this is my own fault for eating a starter as a whole dinner, but I don't really care for this 1970s looking presentation and eating cold (or warm-ish) prawns with no carbs or vegetables. Like its just prawns with dip made extra awkward.
