Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  2. 2

    Ice Bath

    Remove the shrimp from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a serving plate. Serve with lemon wedges, horseradish, and cocktail sauce on the side.
