PRAWN COCKTAIL
This timeless classic is a firm favourite as a starter course in our household. There's something rather special about plump juicy prawns smothered in home-made, tangy, sweet cocktail sauce. With only 5.5 carbs per serving, this is a nutritious, healthy, keto-friendly option. Served in cocktail or dessert glasses, they make for impressive starters.
