Ingredients
- 75g mayonnaise
- 75g tomato ketchup
- 1-2 tsp sriracha sauce (to taste)
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- Dash of paprika
- 150g prawns, cooked & peeled
- To serve
- 8 baby gem lettuce leaves, rinsed & patted dry with paper towel

Method
- 1. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sriracha, shallot and paprika. Taste for seasoning and add more sriracha if desired.
- 2. Add the prawns and mix through. Tip: At this stage, this can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days before serving.
- 3. To serve, spoon prawn cocktail mix into small serving bowls or glasses. Arrange 2 baby gem lettuce leaves in each glass against the side (use leaves large enough to be use as scoops or edible cups for the prawns) then drizzle with a dash of sriracha sauce and a lightly sprinkling of paprika. Finally, add a small wedge of lime to each glass.
- 4. Serve chilled.
