Editor’s note: I’m very excited to have Beverley, AKA BabyMac, over here for some weekend and Christmas recipe inspiration. She’s the business. If you haven’t downloaded her first magazine app, then click on the link below. So many simple ideas to make your Christmas extra special … over to Bev …
I’ve donned my best Leona Christmas frock, popped open a bottle of champagne and am SO excited to be in Nikki’s kitchen today!
With Christmas a ridiculously short time away now I thought I would share with you a simple starter that we usually have on Christmas Day – including the one coming up.
As a little girl a prawn cocktail was SUCH a special thing.
They were my Pa Frank’s favourite thing and I love to keep traditions alive by serving Retro Prawn Cocktail up to my family year in, year out. I serve them in our Riedel stemless glasses because I like how they look, but you could use anything you have – the more retro the better.
Ingredients
- 1kg of cooked, peeled, de-veined prawns
- Iceberg lettuce
- Bunch of dill
- Whole egg mayo
- Sweet chilli sauce
Method
- Mix together the mayo, sweet chilli sauce and chopped dill in equal parts. Taste and adjust accordingly – perhaps a little less chilli to the other two parts.
- The sauce can be made a few days in advance, prawns peeled so all you have to do is shred the lettuce and put it all together. It will only take a few minutes which means more time for you to spend with your family and friends with champagne in hand.
I hope you all have a VERY Merry Christmas! x
Do you have a dish that you serve up at Christmas that’s a bit of a family tradition?
