This recipe is an old favourite, prawn cocktail. The best one I have ever had was in Thailand, a big cocktail glass was filled with shredded white cabbage, the sauce was quite dark and tangy, and the prawns sitting on the side of the glass were the biggest I have ever seen. Not the most original recipe but by far the best I have ever had. This pic isn't the best but I didn't take any in the restaurant.
