Prawn Cocktail Sauce
"This recipe was given to me by mother-in-law 28 years ago and she's been using it for over 40 years, she got it out of the newspaper where someone had written in and requested the recipe when they had it at a Sydney restaurant. It keeps well in the fridge and the flavour will increase with time. Have not included chilling time.
Handy hint - when we have family gatherings we double the mix but don't put in the tabasco sauce and then split the mix between 3 jars and in the first jar put 3/4 teaspoon, the second jar 1 1/4 teaspoon and the third 2 teaspoons so you have a mild version, a hot and super hot and if there is someone who would like it hotter still give them a small bowl and a bottle of tabasco and they can add more to their serve."

WOW! I needed something to go with shrimp and I had no horseradish...SO I turned to this. Glad I did! YUM. I added garlic and some seasoning salt. SO GOOD. -
Made this with a little less then 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce, but otherwise followed the recipe & this sauce made for some very tasty shrimp dipping! A very nice keeper of a recipe, thanks to you! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag] -
Simple, easy, quick and so delicous. Well so I told.<br/>Served this for a Good Friday lunch with prawns, and as I am not a seafood eater, I had to depend on the family for an opinion. And everyone agreed....... they loved it.<br/>The only change I made was to add some finely chopped garlic, only about 3/4 teaspoon, and decoratd the top of the sauce with a slice of lemon and snipped chives.<br/>Very much enjoyed by all. Thanks Pat, I will be coming back to this one for sure! -
This was very delicious and so simple to put together. Kept to the recipe but used lactose free cream. I served a dollop over some fresh oysters and it was tasty. Thanks Pat for sharing your mothers recipe. -
Chef Potts made this for our dinner together the other night. I especially enjoyed my fresh crab, prawns and yabbies dipped into it. Thanks Pat!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
