Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

• 100 grams Romaine lettuce
• 100 grams Cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cocktail sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, combine low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, tomato ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.

Step 2

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and divide them equally among four serving dishes.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber thinly. Add these to the serving dishes, distributing them over the beds of lettuce.

Step 4

Take the cooked prawns and gently toss them in the prepared cocktail sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Arrange the sauced prawns onto the prepared salad in each serving dish, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 6

Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the prawns in each dish for added flavor and color.

Step 7

Finish by adding a pinch of paprika on top of each serving for a subtle hint of smokiness and a pop of color.

Step 8

Serve the prawn cocktail immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light main course.
