Low Fat Prawn Cocktail

Serves: 4 people.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes to prep.

This Christmas starter is always top of the list. It’s extremely tasty and quick to prepare but when served with the more infamous Maria rose sauce, the dish can be full of calories and saturated fats.

With some slight tweaks to the ingredients, we have created a low fat prawn cocktail, which is still high in flavour but also high in nutrition.

• 400g king prawns – precooked and peeled
• 4 little gem lettuces, washed and trimmed
• 5 heaped tbsp. Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp. tomato paste
• 3 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 3 inch cucumber – thinly chopped
• 2 tomatoes – thinly chopped
• 1 spring onion – thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp. tabasco
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh chilli’s (optional)

1. Break up the lettuce into 4 cocktail glasses, cut and dice the tomato, cucumber and spring onion (optional – chili’s should be added now if desired) – mix together so the ingredients are evenly layered.
2. Lay the king prawns over the salad.
3. Mix the yogurt, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, paprika, salt and pepper together. Be creative – add more or less of one ingredient to meet your taste requirements.
4. Gently pour the sauce over each glass, covering the prawns – then serve.
