PRAWN COCKTAIL SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk the ingredients for the dressing together. If it's a little thick, add a splash of water.
• Put the prawns, avocado, tomatoes, spring onions and lettuce in a large salad bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, toss gently, then serve with the dressing handed round separately.

COCONUT SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• For the coconut shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the cornstarch, flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Beat the eggs and 1/2 cup water in a second bowl. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and coconut flakes.
• Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg wash and finally in the coconut breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating. Fry the shrimp in the oil in small batches until golden and crispy, approximately 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt.
• For the dressing: Mix the ranch, cilantro, hot sauce and lime zest and juice in a small bowl.
• For the salad: Arrange the greens, mango, cashews, radishes and cucumber on a platter. Top with the shrimp and serve with the dressing on the side.

PRAWN COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Make sure the prawns are drained well of their briny liquid.
• Mix the salad cream, ketchup, lemon juice and Tabasco in a bowl.
• Tip in the prawns and mix to coat them in the Marie-Rose sauce.
• Finally shred the lettuce, and arrange as a bed on six small plates or shallow bowls.
• Divide the prawns in their sauce on the centre of each plate in a kind of pyramid, and then scatter with roughly crushed peppercorns or dust with paprika.
• As long as the prawns were properly thawed and drained before you started immersing them in their famous coral pink sauce, it does not matter if they sit for a good few hours in the fridge before being dolloped out onto their lettuce-lined dishes.
