Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain the shrimp.

  2. 2

    Chill the Shrimp

    Transfer the cooked shrimp to an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice water) to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes, then drain again.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Serving Platter

    On a serving platter, arrange the chilled shrimp. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp to taste.

  4. 4

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of cocktail sauce with 2 tablespoons of horseradish. Adjust the amount of horseradish to your preference for spiciness.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the shrimp on ice with the cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
