Method

  1. Mix the vodka with the horseradish, coriander, ketchup, a shake of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce, a good grind of pepper and a good pinch of salt. Add the mayonnaise, mix well then add the prawns and mix again. Put in the fridge to keep cool.
  2. Cut the avocados in half and pop out the stone. Sit on a plate with the hole sitting up and then pile the prawn mix in the middle. If you really want to go really 70s, serve with a wedge of lemon and a sprinkle of paprika.

    Excellent starter - was unsure as to the sauce when first reading the recipe but decided to try it and thought it was fantastic. Thought the 20 minute prep time was a bit liberal - it took me all of 5 minutes - so is easy to do fresh if you have guests waiting!

    Surprisingly delicious! The added kick to the sauce definitely made it a cut above your average prawn cocktail!
