It’s time to bring the 1970s classic back to life. Homemade creamy Marie-rose sauce, juicy prawns, and lettuce, warp back to the love era and help revive this bright pink groovy seafood salad.
Marie-rose sauce prep
Mix mayonnaise, crème fraîche, ketchup, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Adjust the spice level to taste.
Stir in the cooked peeled prawns until fully coated in the Marie-rose sauce. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Serve
Serve the prawn salad retro 70s style, arranging a whole leaf of lettuce inside a martini glasses, add chopped cucumber, sliced avocado and a squeeze of lemon. Spoon the prawns and Marie-sauce mixture into the glass, and sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Serve chilled and garnished with a lemon wedge.
