Marie Rose Sauce/Russian dressing

[pitstopbunny]

Is Marie Rose sauce and Russian dressing the same thing? If so, does any have a good recipe for it that they can recommend please? I want to make a really stylish prawn cocktail!

... the marie rose sauce I used to make at the hotel I worked was... half mayo , half natural youghurt, tomato ketchup, tablespoon of dry sherry, lemon juice, salt and black pepper to taste, and a dash of worsteshire sauce, finish off the dressed prawns with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper...
