Paleo prawn cocktail is so incredibly easy, and can be used as a base for a simple salad. Why not add sliced celery, peppers, or even chilli powder then place over a leafy green salad for a complete meal.

I always have a bag of frozen prawns in the freezer in case I have run out of fresh food for lunch boxes. Like tuna mayonnaise, it is an old faithful to fall back on when you don’t have a chance to go to the supermarket.
I am certain that if paleo caveman had a freezer and a stick blender he would have come up with this fabulous idea.Paleo prawn cocktails are dairy free, gluten free, no seed oils, no sugars, no grains just prawns, tomato paste and mayonnaise. I even feel guilty calling this a recipe, but these kind of ideas seem to be really popular. Use my easy peasy homemade mayonnaise recipe.

I just love prawn cocktail ……. thanks for the recipe idea.

All the best Jan
i gotta have some horseradish with mine!
Great blog enjoyed reading it and greet photos as well keep up the good work 🙂
Hey thanks Abi, that is such a nice and kind comment to leave for me. It really makes all the hard work worthwhile 🙂 xxx
I like to add a bit of horseradish to the dipping sauce for all bit of a kick. A great idea for appetizer or part of a meal!
Huh, I never saw this recipe! I love prawn cocktails, so def adding it to my recipe book!…. Will probably serve with avocado like they do at one of my fav restaurants! hehe (IF I can remember how they do it exactly. We go there every year with hubbys work for Christmas, but the boss didn’t have time to do it last year :'( So I can’t remember exactly what they do! I am sure I will work something out hahaha 😉 )
Assuming that the prawns are pre-cooked and not raw as in ceviche? I always have raw ones in the freezer that I have to shell and cook, but this would be worth buying pre-cooked ones for!
Yes, I have amended the recipe to make it clear you should use pre-cooked prawns here.
Should the prawns be cooked or not?
I buy pre-cooked frozen prawns.
Nah, you eat them raw.
I’d add lemon juice
Another simple and easy snack idea that tastes great. I love using this recipe as a snack when my son gets home from school or as a dinner option to have on the table when I’ve run short of time, it’s so quick to make this 🙂
