Drain the cooked shrimp, dry with paper towels, and reserve a few large pieces for garnish.
Slice the lettuce into thin strips and divide it among the serving bowls.
Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper in a bowl.
Toss most of the shrimp with the sauce.
Divide the sauced shrimp over the lettuce and place the reserved shrimp on top.
Sprinkle with chives or dill and serve cold with toast.
💡 Tip: If using frozen shrimp, dry them with paper towels after thawing; watery shrimp thins the sauce and pools at the bottom of the glass.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve prawn cocktail in small glass bowls, with lemon wedges and toast if desired, like a New Year's or dinner-party starter.
