Prawn cocktail

I love adding prawns to hollandaise sauce and pouring over freshly cooked (in foil parcel in oven with a slice lemon) yummy add new pots salad or green beans.

It's late, and my guests are tucked up in bed. We had champagne, no prawns but .......
Fennel Risotto followed by
Salad of roasted shallots, chickpeas and feta cheese with a honey and sherry vinegar dressing.... then
Brebis Cheese and nutty bread ..... and for pudding
Rhubarb and ginger crumble + creme fraiche

Music: Mandolin and clarinet played around the table.

A good evening with friends from afar.

Well we've just eaten a huge local cooked crab, with a bottle of chilled wine, in the garden and watched the sun go down. Had to put our coats on in the end because it got a bit nippy ( the weather not the crab)

God! I am SO hungry reading this thread, love prawns, love smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.......off to raid the fridge, on second thoughts may have to go for walk to AVOID the fridge.
I love these foodie threads, but they do cause havoc with the waistline!!

I don't drink it first thing in the morning unless it is a special day. Otherwise, I have it in the evening.

My supper was delicious btw!

Nor me! In fact I've just tried to open a mini bottle ---- and failed!
Back to chianti!

Doesn"t have to be a special day for me to drink champagne ,

We have a bottle once a fortnight , and in between times if an occassion crops up , and it"s not Cava

Smoked salmon with scrambled egg - lovely breakfast. Especially with a glass of champagne on special days.

Melt some butter in a pan, throw in some prawns,garlic,chilli. Cook it thru for 5 mins or so.S+P. Toss it together with some linguini.Chuck on a few herbs. Delish and so easy.

Many years ago I used to serve the prawn/mayo mixture on half a grapefruit. It was always well received.

I too use them in a chowder, along with Ldl's smoked haddock, some potato and a handful of frozen sweetcorn.

Galen sorry for the delay, they are shell off.

Lidl also do some frozen raw prawns, that I think are shell on, but not sure.

Continuing with the fishy "theme"

Youngest was here the other week for the evening as it was her partners b"day so we had a mini celebration . They stayed over and she said she would cook breakfast the next morning.

She did scrambled egg, smoked salmon , not mixed in but on the side , capers , and raw onion . I thought I don"t think I can face raw onion at this time in the morning .

You know what, it was delicious .

Why of Why does an avacado have to be so high in calories?

Ana, you would be amazed where things get put in this house. Whenever I lose my car keys the DGCs yell, 'Look in the fruit bowl.' They know me so well!

Once I liked avocado with prawns until I worked out that it was the avocado that was giving me terrible stomach upsets.

My mouth is watering

Hm.....sounds tasty!
There are very few foods I don't like - we couldn't afford to be faddy eaters in the 1940's!

I can eat an avocado like an apple , with a little venegar and oil sprinkled on.

Join the prawn club!
Obviously a lot of us like prawns.
Anyone tried them mixed with cubed avocado chilli and cherry tomatoes .served on a bed of lettuce with a little lime juice?
Almost healthy

I love prawns, but I like them with mayonnaise in an avacado. Very calorific, so it has to be the main meal, with a mixed salad and two crispbreads. I also use them as a filling for a baked potato, and I pinched an idea from Juragran - I put them in a packet of Thai soup to add interest. They make a lovely chowder too.
I wish I hadn't read this thread - I have already eaten but I have a big bag of frozen prawns in the freezer...................

Ana , {smile] you are on top form tonight .

Phoenix are they she'll on or off?

Thanks Nelliemoser I've just ordered some!
