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

  1. Step 1

    Combine the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until smooth and all ingredients have been incorporated.

  2. 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.
