Cocktail Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain.
Chill the Shrimp
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Prepare the Cocktail Sauce
In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of horseradish, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust to your desired spice level.
Prepare the Lemon Aioli
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic (minced), and salt to taste until smooth.
