Method

Step 1

First make the cocktail sauce, empty the mayonnaise into a bowl and add the remaining ingredients with salt to taste.

Stir well and add a little more of any of these flavouring ingredients should you feel it necessary.

Step 2

Set the cabbage half on a serving platter. Thread a piece of cucumber on a wooden satay stick so it resides at the blunt end.

Follow it with a prawn and a second piece of cucumber.

Step 3

Insert these sticks into the cabbage until there is room for no more. Fill a couple of pots with the cocktail sauce and serve alongside the prawns; alternatively, flood the serving platter with the sauce.
