Prawn on an Avocado Stack
Recipe by Peter Evans from Short Orders
Peter Evans takes a look at some old favourites, think Steak Diane, Prawn Cocktails and Oysters Kilpatrick. The legendary prawn cocktail generally consisted of shredded iceberg lettuce, cocktail sauce and a fan of avocado on the side. Pete shows that in the kitchen what goes around comes around but with a twist, and puts a modern spin on the classic prawn cocktail.
