Recipe: Mexican Prawn Cocktail - Under 105 Calories per serving!

I know what you're thinking. Mexican. Cocktail - Less than 105 calories? Never!

But it can be done. Mum and I proved it on Saturday night!

The Finished Product

We had a little Mexican style dinner party on Saturday night and Mum and I put together this recipe for a Prawn Cocktail. I'm not one for Prawn Cocktail's in general but I LOVE Mexican food so I was more than happy to come up with an alternative with my mama! We worked out the calories by entering the ingredients into My Fitness Pal and it turned out at 104.8 cals per serving! I could not believe it! It was so filling as well - and it was our starter! I reckon if you changed the serving size a little it could easily be a main! 

Bare in mind this recipe serves 10 so adjust accordingly!! (Divide ingredients by 5 if you need it for 2 people etc). Do not be put off by the amount of ingredients - most authentic Mexican food will be like this. A lot of it is general things you'll have in the house anyway :)

Ingredients

For the Sauce

• 500ml Tomato Juice
• 2 tbsp Tomato Ketchup
• 50ml Orange Juice (Carton or Zest) 
• The Juice of 3 Limes
• 1 tbsp Grenadine Syrup
• 9 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce (Lee & Perrins is best)
• 25ml Tequila
• Tobasco to taste (optional)
• Salt and Pepper to season

For the Filling 

• 300g Shrimp
• 300g Scallops
• Half an average size avocado (sliced)

Cilantro to garnish

Method

• Mix the ingredients to make the sauce together in a jug and stir. 
• Stir in the scallops to the liquid and leave in the fridge for a minimum of an hour to allow the citrus to begin cooking the scallops (magic huh!). The longer in the fridge the better,  in my opinion! 
• When ready, stir in the prawns and avocado 
• Serve in cocktail glasses (or Plastic Wine Glasses if you're like us!)

These are a great dinner party find - everyone at our house loved them! They went down a treat.

And at under 105 calories - I'd say they're definitely Tone It Up approved! 

They went down very well! 

Let me know if you try these - I'd love to hear your feedback! 

On a side note - I used my new camera to take these pictures - I'm in love with it! Such great quality! I also lost 3lbs this week which I'm ECSTATIC about!

Have a great week!
