Bloody Mary Prawns

This elegant Bloody Mary prawns recipe takes the classic flavours of the famous cocktail and transforms them into a sophisticated, diabetes-friendly appetiser. The combination of succulent prawns, crunchy celery, and zesty spring onions is brought to life with a punchy dressing of lemon juice, spicy horseradish, and a splash of vodka. It is a wonderfully light way to start a dinner party, offering a savoury kick that is both refreshing and satisfying without being heavy on sugar.

Perfect for entertaining, these bite-sized treats are traditionally served in Chinese soupspoons for a stylish presentation. Choosing high-quality prawns and fresh lemon ensures the cleanest flavours, while the addition of diced avocado provides a creamy contrast to the heat of the Tabasco. This dish is naturally low in fat and packed with lean protein, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious guests who don't want to compromise on bold, punchy flavour.
