Refreshing Cucumber Prawn Cocktail Cups on a platter, garnished with dill, perfect for a party.

Cucumber Prawn Cocktail Cups

These refreshing Cucumber Prawn Cocktail Cups are a light and elegant appetizer featuring succulent prawns tossed in a zesty cocktail sauce, served in crisp cucumber cups.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12-15 cups (4-5 servings) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 large cucumber
200g cooked prawns, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh dill or parsley, chopped, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it into thick slices, about 1 inch thick. Using a small melon baller or a spoon, carefully scoop out the center of each slice to create a cup, being careful not to go all the way through the bottom.
Step 2: Make the Cocktail Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well until the sauce is smooth and evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Step 3: Combine Prawns and Sauce: Add the cooked and thawed prawns to the cocktail sauce. Gently toss the prawns until they are thoroughly coated with the sauce.
Step 4: Assemble the Cups: Carefully spoon the prawn cocktail mixture into each hollowed-out cucumber cup, filling them generously but neatly.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve: Arrange the filled cucumber cups on a serving platter. Garnish each cup with a sprinkle of fresh chopped dill or parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the cocktail mixture. You can also mix in finely diced celery or avocado for added texture. Best served chilled and fresh.
