Shrimp Cocktail

Prep time:  25 mins + 1hour
Serves 4

Ingredients:
24 large prawns (such as Tiger Shrimp)
1 tsp of salt

Boil 1 ltr of water with 1 tsp of salt.  Once it is boiling, cook the prawns until they turn pink in colour (about 5 mins).  Drain the cooked shrimp, let cool (1 hour).  Peel the prawns and cut a slit across the center of the tail without cutting through.

Cocktail sauce
6 tbls of Mayonnaise
4 tbls of Ketchup
1 tsp of cayenne pepper (more if you like it hot)
6 drops of Tobasco sauce
2 tbls of lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl and mix until all the ingredients are a pinkish sauce. 

Fill in the Martini glass taking care not to get any on the sides.  Place the Prawns around a Martini glass by using the cut in the tail to hold the Prawns around the rim of the glass.  Garnish the rim with a lemon wedge and garnish the sauce with parley.

Enjoy!
