Sauce for prawn cocktail?

Options
I have done all my shopping but have forgotten the seafood sauce for the prawn cocktail that OH insists we have on Christmas day. Have done a search but can't find out how to make it.....does anyone have an easy recipe?
We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

  • Mayonnaise with a dash of tomato ketchup should do the trick - that's what a lot of restaurants do.
  • Tomato sauce mayonnaise and a little tobasco to give it a nice bite. Just keep adding tomato and mayo until it looks the right colour then the tobasco to taste!!!! Easy Peasy!!!! :T

    Thanks so much - don't have tobasco - would worcester sauce be too strong?

  • I make mine with mayo, tomato sauce and a splash of double cream. Would think worcester sauce would be fine, just add a tiny bit at a time and keep tasting. I sometimes add a little lemon juice too.

    Worcestor sauce will be fine, if you like a bit of spice also add a tiny bit of garlic and/or chilli or paprika.

    Marie Rose sauce is what I think it is called. As stated above, mayo, ketchup, then paprika or Tabasco for spice. Yum!
    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)
