Hi everyone, I am starting to think about christmas lunch with the family. Has anybody got a good recipe for seafood cocktail sauce? I dont like it myself but will make it for the rest of the family. Also any other sauce etc to serve with boiled prawns?
Thanks and Merry Christmas
Ellen

Here is my favourite if you like a bit of bite....all ingredients to taste depending on quantity required......but as a rough guide half cup of mayonaise, half tea spoon of wasabi, 2-3 teaspoons of tequila & table spoon of chopped chives.
Enjoy

I don't feel that this is OT... People go fishing when they explore oz... If ellen&greg hadn't put in that they were going to use it for Christmas lunch, how would you have known when they were going to use it? For all you know they could've been using it for fish/prawns/whatever that they had just caught whilst on a trip around oz...
Cheers, Brad

Ellen & Greg,
Either of the above two
recipes will do the job, you can mayo with cream if you want. The fellas were correct with measurements but its a taste thing ie a bit of this a bit of that the way the CWA do it LOL
Cheers and enjoy the prawns
Debbie

What is really worth doing is making your own mayonnaise, and this recipe is excellent - even my younger son's vegie, green, save the planet girlfriend asked for the details!:
-------------------------------
From Margaret Fultons Book of Salads
1 egg
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of pepper
½ teaspoon of mustard powder
2 teaspoons of wine vinegar
2/3 of a cup of olive oil
2/3 of a cup of sunflower oil
Place the egg, salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar in a blender or food processor and blend on medium speed for a few seconds. Still on medium speed add the oils drop by drop to begin with, through the lid, then in a thin stream as the mixture thickens.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Will keep for about ten days.
Makes about 1¼ cups.
----------------------
To add the oils I use cling wrap to make a "well" in
the neck of the food processor and make a small hole in it's base with a pointed knife - I then fill the
well with oil and it makes a slow stream into the bowl - don't make the hole too big.

I suggest you go to your local
supermarket and by the finished product. Reasons are
1 It tastes better than anything you make up
2 It lasts longer than anything you make up.
3 It works out a lot cheaper than anything you make up.
4 The dispensing container comes with it.
5 You know you will enjoy it. Why put something on expensive seafood that you find out too late that you dont like?
6 Merry Xmas

How can you say store bought tastes better than anything you can make yourself
I bet i can make most foods you can buy better lol
But you are right about convenience wise its better to buy store bought for container & all when traveling
unless its my ventnor sauce or my galic sauce
a few on here have tried my cooking @ my hotel those i take along for brew34 1/2s Dawn & Pesty's Glenda when i remember that is lol

We sometimes use vanilla ice cream stirred until smooth but still really cold then add spicy tomato sauce and worchester sauce. Stir until combined. Lovely on a hot Xmas day.

Something a little subtle is the go for prawns.
We have found Thousand Island dressing to be very good.
No buggering around with
recipes or preparation, it comes in a plastic bottle ready to serve.
Had some yesterday on some magnificent S.A. King Prawns, so my mouth is not "drooling" thinking about it.
