Prawn Dipping Sauces (Seafood Sauces)
It’s really worth making your own dipping sauces when you’ve invested in fresh juicy prawns. The jarred stuff lacks the fresh flavour of homemade seafood sauces and just doesn’t do prawns justice!

Here are 5 prawn dipping sauces that our family has been using for as long as I can remember that we also use for our seafood platter! There’s a nice variety of seafood sauces to choose from: Cocktail Seafood Sauce, Tartare, Marie Rose / Thousand Island, or a Thai Chilli Lime Sauce for something fresher. Plus, our Family Favourite Sauce!
