My Special Shrimp Cocktail

This is one fabulous dish! It's simple yet stylish and will get you rave reviews. Made it for Imran (my nephew) first birthday last month. The sweet juicy taste of boiled shrimp just mixed scrumptiously with the tangy mangoes and the slightly spicy dressing. Try it!


Ingredient :

1 kg medium size shrimp / prawn
1-2 ripe mangoes
Thousand Island Sauce
Butterhead or Curly lettuce (or other type of lettuce, up to you)


Peel and clean shrimp/prawn. Boil in salted water until just cooked, about 4 minutes.
Peel and dice mangoes. Put both ingredients in the fridge up until serving time (the cocktail is served cold).

Before serving : Prepare lettuce on either individual cocktail glasses or one big bowl (as in my photo), scatter the diced mangoes interchangeably with the cold, boiled shrimp/prawn. Dress with the Thousand Island Sauce to your liking. Serve as appertizer. Yumm!
