Crisps are a favored pub snack in Britain, with popular flavors such as prawn cocktail, which contains no actual shellfish. Walker's crisps, the leading brand, features prawn cocktail seasoning based on a mayonnaise-based sauce commonly served with cold prawns. The flavor combines ingredients like onion and tomato with a unique pink color also associated with its iconic packaging. Other unusual chip flavors also exist in Britain, drawing inspiration from sandwich toppings and regional cuisines, demonstrating the country's diverse snack culture.
Walker's, the leading crisp brand in the U.K., lists prawn cocktail seasoning as an ingredient on its iconic pink bag of crisps, but no actual prawns are involved.

Prawn cocktail crisps are shellfish-free and even vegetarian, with the seasoning including flavorings like onion, tomato, and paprika, along with sugar and salt.
The creamy Marie Rose sauce blends ketchup, zesty lemon, and Worcestershire, avoiding the horseradish found in traditional cocktail sauce, which complements the shrimp flavor profile.
