METHOD
Make the Marie Rose sauce.
For each person mix together in a bowl 
3 tablespoons salad cream or mayonnaise

Check for colour and taste and adjust as necessary. If using mayonnaise add lemon juice for sharpness.
Shred the lettuce
Arrange the lettuce in the bottom of your serving glasses or bowls
Pile your peeled prawns on top, then spoon over the Marie Rose sauce. Or you can mix the prawns into the sauce to coat each one then spoon the mixture on top of the lettuce. 
Add  a sprinkling of paprika (optional) to make it look interesting 
Serve with a wedge of lemon so people can make the sauce sharper if they want to and triangles of brown bread and butter.
Eat with a teaspoon and small fork.
