Valentines Day is fast approaching and today I share with you an old classic which makes a great starter! It's a old favourite of mine - a twist on a classic, and whilst it's not the healthiest, omitting the bread makes it that much healthier!
Prawn and Crayfish Cocktail Boats
250g large peeled prawns
120g crayfish tails
3 tbsp good quality mayonnaise
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
Couple of drops of Tabasco
Squeeze lemon juice
Half a cucumber, shredded into ribbons (I use a peeler to do this)
Little Gem lettuce, remove the outer leaves you will need around three depending on size
take the mayonnaise and ketchup and mix them together. add the Tabasco and lemon juice and season. have a try and adjust to taste (I usually end up adding a bit more lemon and black pepper). add in the prawns and crayfish tails (reserving some of the tails for garnish). take your lettuce leaves and use them as “boats"; first add a couple of ribbons of cucumber and then the prawn cocktail and finish with a garnish of a couple of crayfish tails. Serve on a lovely wooden platter and let people just help themselves.
Oh gorgeous presentation and love this starter! Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays x
