Go retro with this simple yet delicious prawn cocktail featuring predictably perfect GreenSkin® GMax® Avocados.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 GreenSkin® GMax® avocados, halved, pitted and finely sliced
  • 2 Baby Gem Cos leaves (washed and torn into usable-sized leaves)
  • 12 large prawns, cooked
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 3 radishes, finely sliced
  • ¼ bunch chervil/tarragon/chives, finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • Lemon juice

Method

  1. Arrange some baby gem leaves in serving vessels (coupe or martini glasses work to create a fun retro feel).
  2. In a separate bowl, lightly dress prawns, tomatoes, avocado slices, gem leaves, chopped herbs and radishes with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Be gentle when dressing and mixing as to not damage avocado slices.
  3. Arrange in vessel with prawn tails and avocado slices protruding up and out of the glass.

  2. Place in sealed container and store in the fridge until needed. Will last for up to two weeks.
