King Prawns with Chili Mayonaise

This is a lovely dish to have any time of the year, I like to serve it for a light supper and my children fight over who has the most prawns.
Whole cooked prawns can be bought frozen, they are delicious, and I always use up the heads and shells to make a spicy prawn soup for the next day.

Ingredients for 4:

• 500 gr whole king prawns
• 1.5 litre fish or chicken stock cube
• 2tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 small garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tsp tomato ketchup
• dash of chili or Tabasco

Put a large pan of water to boil, add the stock cube and a pinch of salt.
When the water comes up to the boil, pour in the prawns. As soon as the water comes up to the boil again, turn off the heat and drain the prawns, saving the stock to make a great fish soup for the next day. Place the drained prawns in a serving dish.

Mix the mayonnaise with the garlic, ketchup and chili or Tabasco, taste to check that the flavour is good and strong.

Serve the prawns cold, with the mayonnaise, as a starter or snack.
Because the prawns can be eaten with your fingers, give each person a small bowl of water with lemon juice, so they can clean their finger when finished.
