1. Hand mix all the ingredients for the cocktail sauce together, season to taste.
2. Hand mix all the ingredients for the dressing together, season to taste.
3. Cut off the hard stems of the iceberg lettuce, then cut into half and half again. Wash in chilled water, shake and dry on kitchen paper.
4. Chiffonade or shred the iceberg – this is done by rolling the leaves from the lettuce half firmly into a cylinder. Hold the roll of lettuce and start to cut as thinly as you can, giving you long thin slices.
5. Pick through the prawns to make sure they are clean. Add the fish stock to a heavy pan and bring to the boil. Blanch the prawns for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink in colour and are cooked through, then drain. Place prawns on a tray and allow to cool.
6. In a bowl, mix together the chiffonade of iceberg, sliced cucumber and spring onion and add the dressing, about 2-3 tbsp.
7. To assemble prawn cocktail, to a glass add some of the iceberg mix, some prawns and cocktail sauce over. Do this until you have reached the top of the glass. Finish with cocktail sauce, sprinkle with cayenne pepper, one of the King Prawns, and a wedge of lemon. Repeat for other glasses. Serve straight away.
