Danish Prawn Cocktail.

Prawn Cocktail for Entrée.

My oldest daughter and her husband were out for dinner at a fancy restaurant the other night, where my daughter’s husband ordered a Prawn-Cocktail for entrée.



He complained to my daughter, that he was very disappointed with his meal and my daughter started to brag about her father’s Prawn-Cocktails,

the next thing I know, my wife has called the whole family and a couple of friends together for a dinner party the following Saturday and I am told to make the entrée.

You guessed it Prawn-Cocktails. So I will share the recipe with you.

I prefer to use the small Prawns for the cocktail, and usually get them cooked and frozen, that is the easiest way.

Another idea for an entrée using prawns.


Toast with prawns is commonly used at a midnight snack on New Year’s Eve in Denmark, it’s easy to make and tastes delicious.
