Mitch Tonks' ultimate prawn cocktail

Restaurateur and fishmonger Mitch Tonks has taken the traditional Christmas prawn cocktail and given it a twist and it's one you should definitely try!

Serves: 4

What you need:

• 350g Young's Best Ever Prawns
• 2000g Iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
• 4 spring onions finely sliced
• 1 ripe avocado, chopped
• Squeeze of lime
• Pinch of cayenne pepper

For the cocktail sauce:

• Small jar mayonnaise or about a cup full of home made
• 4 tablespoons tomato ketchup
• Dash Tabasco
• Splash whisky or brandy
• Pinch cayenne pepper

What you do:

1. Mix the lettuce with the spring onions, avocado, a little salt and pepper, a pinch of cayenne and a squeeze of lime.
