It's no mystery why certain recipes become timeless classics – they're just really good! The same goes for the evergreen among starters – the prawn cocktail. A classic that you'll know from traditional restaurants or enjoy at home on special occasions. A bit of crisp lettuce, creamy avocado and your elegant starter is ready. I refined the sauce with a hint of harissa to give it a pleasant heat. A little lemon zest adds a fresh touch and balances the dish out beautifully.
