A prawn cocktail.

Prawn cocktail or shrimp cocktail is a seafood dish consisting of cooked, peeled, and chilled shrimp or prawns, served on a bed of crisp lettuce, topped with cocktail sauce (made from a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise, (ketchup and horseradish in the United States)), usually served as an hors d'œuvre.

 It is called Cocktail because it is served in a Cocktail glass.
