I love a prawn cocktail and although I've served it in a bowl in this recipe, it can be just as easily served in a prawn cocktail glass.

I've rather controversially included tomatoes in my version, but do feel free to leave them out if you want to keep it classic.

Many thousand Island dressing recipes also include pickle, but I've replaced this with finely diced shallot and cornichons as I prefer it (although either will work).

Finally I've drizzled the dressing over the salad, as I like to see the gorgeous colour of  the black tiger prawns.  However, the prawns can always be mixed with the dressing before adding to the salad, if you want that traditional vibe.
