Sainsbury's Deli Filler Prawn Cocktail
What it is
This is a ready-to-eat deli filler featuring a blend of cooked prawns in a creamy, tangy cocktail sauce. It is designed for convenience and is typically found in the chilled section of a supermarket. The prawns are usually small to medium in size, and the sauce is a classic combination of mayonnaise and tomato-based elements, often with a hint of brandy or Worcestershire sauce for depth. It is a popular choice for quick lunches or light meals.
