Notes

Note 1 - I used a 50/50 mix of smaller cooked prawns and king cooked prawns. I think the variety of sizes adds a nice textural difference when eating the cocktail but if you prefer or only have just smaller or just larger prawns, it will still be a delicious cocktail.

Note 2 - You can choose any lettuce leaf to use but it is best to go for a lighter green crunchy lettuce rather than using something fancier like frisse, rocket or baby spinach. Iceberg is perfect, as are romaine and little gem varieties.
