Wikipedia: Prawn cocktail
Prawn cocktail or shrimp cocktail is a seafood dish, which is usually served as a starter. It consists of cooked, peeled, chilled shrimp or prawns, leaf salad and cocktail sauce—sometimes known as sauce Marie Rose or Thousand Island Dressing—which is essentially a combination of ketchup and mayonnaise with horseradish. The sauce can be served as a dipping sauce (common with larger shrimp) or as a dressing over or in the entire dish. Prawn cocktail is often served with bread. The dish was very popular in the 1960s in the UK.
 
Prawn cocktail is also a popular flavour of crisps, often sold in pink packets.

Shrimp Cocktail Sauce
One cup canned tomatoes; one leek chopped fine; one onion chopped fine; one eighth teaspoon ground cloves; one half teasppon dry mustard; one half cup water. Cook all together for fifteen minutes, then rub through a sieve and add one and one half teaspoons salt; one teaspoon paprika and one tablespoon worcestershire sauce. Mix, chill, and serve.
 
A simple variation is to use chili sauce into which the above seasonings are mixed, cutting down a little on the worcestershire sauce and salt.
