About Prawn cocktail

Prawn Cocktail is a classic starter often enjoyed in British cuisine, though its origins trace back to 1950s America. This dish features cooked prawns served over a bed of crisp lettuce, traditionally topped with a tangy cocktail sauce made from mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and a hint of lemon juice or Tabasco. Variations may include additional garnishes like paprika or fresh herbs. Prawns are a nutritious seafood option, rich in lean protein, low in fat, and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, essential vitamins, and minerals like selenium. However, the cocktail sauce can be high in calories and sugar due to the mayonnaise and ketchup base. For a healthier version, lighter mayo or Greek yogurt can be used as substitutes. While Prawn Cocktail can fit into a balanced diet, portion control and mindful preparation are key to fully enjoying its nutritional benefits.
