Instructions

1- Creating this fresh Salmon And Prawn Cocktail recipe is straightforward and fun, taking just about 15 minutes from start to finish. Begin by mixing the sauce ingredients in a large bowl to build that tangy base, then add the seafood and vegetables for a colorful, nutritious mix. For the best results, chill the mixture briefly to let the flavors meld, making it an ideal starter for any occasion.

2- First, combine the ricotta, yogurt, ketchup, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon zest in a large bowl, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper. This step creates the creamy, tangy sauce that ties everything together. Next, chop the smoked salmon and prawns into bite-sized pieces, reserving four prawns for garnish to add a nice presentation touch.

3- Then, finely dice the cucumber and cut the baby gem lettuce into strips for that added crunch and freshness. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with the sauce, ensuring every bite is flavorful and balanced. After mixing, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to enhance the tastes, then serve by spooning it into four glasses.

4- Finally, garnish each glass with a reserved prawn and a baby gem lettuce leaf, sprinkle with extra black pepper, and serve immediately for the best texture. This method not only keeps the dish light but also boosts vegetable intake, as suggested by sources like salmon nutrition benefits. Remember, using yogurt in the sauce makes it healthier compared to traditional options.
