Background
This avocado and crayfish cocktail is a delicate version of the famous prawn cocktail. It’s a perfect starter in a special menu - ideal for Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s day, Anniversaries and other special celebrations. It takes only a few minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3 romaine leaves or 1 little gem
- 3 spring onions
- 100g crayfish trail
- ¼ cucumber
- For the sauce:
- 2 Tbsp mayo
- 1 Tbsp crème fraîche
- 2 tsp ketchup
- Dash of Tabasco
- Juice ½ lemon
Instructions
- Cut the cucumber in half and scoop out the seeds and discard. Dice the cucumber. Cut the lettuce into very thin strips. Thinly slice the spring onion. Peel and dice the avocado flesh and squeeze some lemon juice over to stop getting brown. Put everything into a mixing bowl.
- Mix the sauce together, adjust the spiciness and sweetness. Pour this over the salad and gently toss. Season with salt and pepper.
- Keep refrigerated until serving.
- Spoon the mixture into small glass dessert dishes or tumblers. Scatter some freshly ground pepper on the top and perhaps a pinch of cayenne. Serve with a slice of lemon.
Tips
- You can garnish it according to the occasion - for example I added a few pomegranate seeds to it, which is perfect for Christmas, Valentine’s Day or Wedding Anniversary.
- Also you can scatter on & around some chopped toasted almonds or walnuts; strips of smoked salmon or salmon roe; chopped fresh herbs and so on.
