Shrimp

Cocktail Sauce

Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the lemon halves and Old Bay seasoning. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.

  2. 2

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

Make the Cocktail Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

  2. 4

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the cocktail sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plate the Shrimp

    Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter or individual serving plates.

  2. 6

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve the chilled shrimp alongside the zesty cocktail sauce for dipping.
