NO-COOK CHRISTMAS

Seafood cocktail platter

Everyone has their own idea of what makes the perfect prawn cocktail, and this sharing platter means they can create it themselves. The actual seafood element can suit your price range, from good-value small prawns to lobster if you're feeling flush. Even without the seafood, you have a very good vegetarian, salad bar situation happening. If you'd rather guests don't assemble their own food, then you can easily serve the ingredients in glasses, or as a large mixed salad.
