Prawn cocktail or shrimp cocktail is a seafood dish, which is usually served as an hors d'œuvre. It consists of cooked, peeled, chilled shrimp or prawns, leaf salad and cocktail sauce or sauce Marie Rose - a combination of mayonnaise and ketchup sometimes also known as Russian dressing. The size of the shrimp can vary drastically in a shrimp cocktail. The sauce can be served as a dipping sauce (common with larger shrimp) or as a dressing. Prawn cocktail is often served with bread. The dish was very popular in the 1980s in the UK[citation needed].

Prawn cocktail is also a popular flavour of crisps, often sold in pink packets.
