Christmas Dinner: Part 4, Prawn Cocktail

In order of eating, this is obviously not 4, it is 1, but I felt the turkey centrepiece deserved the part 1 accolade. Nevertheless, this favourite, retro starter is simple and delicious, and never fails to impress. It's not groundbreaking, but there's no reason to fiddle with this; my parents have been making and enjoying it since the 70s; in fact, my dad never left.
1)In a bowl, combine about 5 heaped tbsp mayo, 2 tsp tomato puree, a dash of tabsco sauce, the juices of half a lemon and stir to combine. Give it a few tries, adding more lemon or salt if necessary.
2)Rinse 400g cooked, peeled prawns (try and get best quality) and fold them into the sauce.
3)Shred a few leaves of iceberg lettuce into some posh bowls, then pile on your prawn mixture, dust with a little paprika and garnish (horrible word but my vocabulary is nothe good enough to think of a synonym) with a cucumber or citrus twist. Do this by slicing it thinly, cutting halfway to the centre of thexcellence slice, then twist each side. Keep In the fridge until you're ready to serve.
