Some things never go out of style and the 1980s dinner party classic of prawn cocktail is one of these. That’s why here at John Ross Jr. we’ve decided to launch our very own version of this seafood favourite ready for the festive season. And it tastes amazing with our traditional smoked salmon too!

Our John Ross Jr. luxury prawn cocktail uses only the finest North Atlantic prawns in a rich and creamy sauce to accentuate their full flavour. And with our larger-than-normal 400g pots they are the perfect size for entertaining over the run-up and during the Christmas period.

Vicky Leigh-Pearson, John Ross Jr.’s Sales Director, comments: “Prawn cocktail is a timeless classic and one that never fails to please. Whilst we’ve respected the essence of this traditional dish we’ve given it an extra layer of depth by using the highest quality and tastiest prawns available and combined it with a rich and creamy sauce that’s of a quality that people now come to expect from John Ross Jr.”

Not sold on this classic dish? Here are a few nutritional facts that may make a difference:

• Prawns are very good for you. They are crammed full of vitamin E, and contain around 20 times more than is found in beef and chicken. This vitamin E is a fat soluble and is a powerful antioxidant, some evidence suggests that it can even prevent cardiovascular disease and stop some forms of cancer.
• There is very little fat in prawns. In fact, 100g of prawns has 18 times less than the same sized serving of salmon.
• Unlike some meats, eating shellfish does not raise blood cholesterol.
