Adam Liaw’s classic seafood sauce
Made in less than five minutes using ingredients you may already have on hand, Marie Rose sauce has many uses beyond dressing a prawn cocktail.
Also called seafood sauce or seafood cocktail sauce, Marie Rose can be made in less than five minutes using store-cupboard ingredients, so you can quickly some up to dollop on prawn cocktails, spread on sandwiches and fish burgers, or use as a dipping sauce for raw vegetables and chips.
Ingredients
1 cup Japanese-style mayonnaise*
½ cup tomato sauce
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp Tabasco, or to taste
½ tsp brandy (optional)
juice and zest of ½ a lemon
Method
Step 1
Combine the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until smooth and all ingredients have been incorporated.
Step 2
Chill before use.
*Note: I use Japanese mayonnaise because it has a creamier texture than most store-bought mayonnaises. They’re fine in a sandwich but too tangy and gloopy for this sauce, which is thinned and sharpened with lemon juice.
