Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Instructions
Begin by preparing the cocktail sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, combine low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, tomato ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and divide them equally among four serving dishes.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber thinly. Add these to the serving dishes, distributing them over the beds of lettuce.
Take the cooked prawns and gently toss them in the prepared cocktail sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Arrange the sauced prawns onto the prepared salad in each serving dish, ensuring an even distribution.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the prawns in each dish for added flavor and color.
Finish by adding a pinch of paprika on top of each serving for a subtle hint of smokiness and a pop of color.
Serve the prawn cocktail immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light main course.
