- 1 tsp ketchup
- 1/4 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
For the Sandwiches (Makes 2)
- 2/3 cup peeled and cooked jumbo or king prawns (or shrimp), chopped and divided. Reserve 1/3 cup per sandwich.
- 4 slices of white or whole wheat bread, seeded or unseeded
- a handful of lettuce leaves, torn
- butter, for spreading on the bread (optional)
Instructions
For the Creamy Cocktail (Seafood Mayonnaise or Marie Rose) Sauce
- Make the creamy seafood mayonnaise sauce or cocktail sauce (also known as Marie Rose sauce) by combining the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Set aside.
- Chop the prawn or shrimp in small pieces. You may mix a little of the chopped prawn with some of the sauce.
- Spoon some sauce on the buttered side of the bread. Place the remaining chopped prawns. Add a layer of lettuce or other preferred greens (thinly sliced cucumber work well, too). Place the remaining slice on top. Slice diagonally, if desired.
- You may eat this right away or wrap in a cling film and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop even more.
- Repeat with the remaining bread, chopped prawn and sauce. Enjoy.
Notes
TIPS & TRICKS
If you want a slightly sweeter seafood mayonnaise sauce, simply add a little sugar to the mix. Others also add some black pepper and salt. I like it simply the way it is made in the recipe but feel free to adjust the taste to your liking.
