Zubereitung

1
Pat the chilled prawns dry with paper towels. Dice the cucumber, place it in a sieve, and press gently to remove excess liquid; seed and dice the tomato.
2
In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and brandy, if using, until smooth and coral pink. Season with the black pepper.
3
Fold three-quarters of the prawns into the sauce with the diced cucumber and tomato, keeping the mixture gentle so the prawns remain whole and the vegetables stay crisp.
4
Spoon the mixture into four chilled cocktail glasses or small serving bowls. Arrange the reserved prawns on top and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes so the flavors settle and the starter is thoroughly cold.
