Mitch Tonks' ultimate prawn cocktail

Restaurateur and fishmonger Mitch Tonks has taken the traditional Christmas prawn cocktail and given it a twist and it's one you should definitely try!

Serves: 4

What you need:

• 350g Young's Best Ever Prawns
• 2000g Iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
• 4 spring onions finely sliced
• 1 ripe avocado, chopped
• Squeeze of lime
• Pinch of cayenne pepper

For the cocktail sauce:

• Small jar mayonnaise or about a cup full of home made
• 4 tablespoons tomato ketchup
• Dash Tabasco
• Splash whisky or brandy
• Pinch cayenne pepper

What you do:

1. Mix the lettuce with the spring onions, avocado, a little salt and pepper, a pinch of cayenne and a squeeze of lime.
2. Make the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together, adding a little more or less of everything to suit your taste. Reserving one spoonful of the cocktail sauce and a few juicy prawns for the top, stir the remaining prawns in the cocktail sauce.
3. In two ice cream sundae style glasses, layer the salad mix and then the prawn mix in five layers to the top and finish with a spoonful of the cocktail sauce topped with a few juicy prawns.
