Prawns with Russian dressing


Explanation:
Let me guess... you're translating an Argentine menu...

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_Argentina
Salsa Golf, a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise

Definitions of langostino on the Web:

A small shellfish about 1 inch long that have a strong shrimp flavor.
www.chowbaby.com/10_2000/glossary/glossary.asp

[lahn-goh-STEEN-oh] The Spanish word for "prawn".

I left a bit out... the copa...

I would say "prawn cocktail with Russian dressing"... or perhaps just "prawn cocktail"... you would expect "cocktail sauce" and maybe the "salsa golf" is meant to be the equivalent....

prawns with cocktail sauce/prawn cocktail


Explanation:
langostinos definitivamente son "prawns"

la "salsa golf" tuve que buscarla (evidentemente es de Argentina). En español se llamaría de diferentes formas en distintos lugares

En inglés, es simplemente "coctail sauce" (ya que es la salsa más común y menos complicada usada regularmente en coctail de camarones o langostinos)

lo de la copa está difícil de mantener: supongo que es algo de las diferencias entre las lenguas. Aunque en español y otros idiomas en los menús es muy común encontrar como parte del nombre del platillo el utencilio en el que va servido, en inglés rara vez sucede.

Quizás "prawns with coctail sauce" suene muy sencillo, eso es lo que es el platillo y es la forma más común de llamarlo. Lo que le "sube" el nivel es que son langostinos/prawns en lugar de camarones.
