Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Boil the Shrimp

    In a large pot, combine 4 cups of water, halved lemon, bay leaves, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once boiling, add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  3. 3

    Cool the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes, then drain and pat dry.

Make the Cocktail Sauce

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce to taste. Stir until well combined.

  2. 5

    Adjust Flavor

    Taste the sauce and adjust the hot sauce or horseradish according to your preference for spice.

Assemble the Shooter

    Layer Ingredients

    In small shooter glasses, place 2-3 shrimp in each glass. Add a spoonful of cocktail sauce on top.
