A Modern Classic
Although delicious, prawn cocktail has got a reputation for being a very '70s and '80s dish and so has fallen out of favour. However, it can easily be given a modern feel and is such a traditional British dish we should do all we can to keep it up there with the bangers and mash, fish and chips and shepherd's pie. Here is a great recipe that takes all the great aspects of a prawn cocktail but brings it into the 21st century.

Serving size 1
Ingredients:
- 6 cooked prawns, shelled
- 1/2 avocado, cubed
- 1 diced oven-dried tomato
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 teaspoon diced onion
- Salt
- Pepper
Basil oil:
- Basil leaf
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
Chilli oil:
- 1/2 capsicum
- 1 fresh chilli
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
- Mix avocado, tomato, lemon juice, coriander, olive oil and onion in a bowl and place in a biscuit cutter on the centre of a plate.
- Meanwhile place the basil oil ingredients in a blender and mix until they turn to a sauce. Then repeat with the chilli oil ingredients.
- Pour the basil and chilli oils onto the plate around the biscuit cutter in a decorative manner.
- Place the prawns onto the avocado and garnish with a sprig of coriander.
