Method

  1. Rinse the prawns under cold water to remove any broken shell, then pat dry with kitchen paper. Transfer to a glass or platter and serve with your choice of dips (options below), lettuce, bread and lemon wedges.

Thousand island dip: Mix together 3 parts lighter mayonnaise with 1 part tomato ketchup. Stir in a little Dijon mustard, a splash of white wine vinegar and a pinch of paprika.

Bloody Mary ketchup: Add a few tsp Worcestershire sauce, a few dashes of tabasco and a pinch of celery salt to a ramekin of tomato ketchup to give it a spicy kick.

Cheat's tartare: Mix mayonnaise with enough lemon juice to loosen slightly, then stir finely chopped capers, cornichons and flat-leaf parsley to taste; season.
