Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Shrimp Cocktail Directions

1

Prepare the Poaching Liquid

In a large pot, combine water, salt, and the juice of half the lemon. Bring to a boil.

2

Poach the Shrimp

Once the water is boiling, add the jumbo shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

3

Make the Truffle-Dijon Aioli

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, truffle oil, and Dijon mustard. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

4

Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

In a separate bowl, mix the cocktail sauce with the remaining half of the lemon juice for added flavor.

5

Serve

Arrange the poached shrimp on a platter with small bowls of cocktail sauce and truffle-Dijon aioli. Garnish with lemon wedges.
