Shrimp

Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Clean the Shrimp

    Rinse the U-6 shrimp under cold water to remove any debris. Remove the shells, if desired, leaving the tails intact for presentation.

  2. 2

    Boil the Shrimp

    Fill a large pot with water and add salt. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the water and add the lemon halves. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once the water is boiling, add the U-6 shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  4. 4

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately place them in a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for 5-10 minutes.

Make the Cocktail Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.

  2. 6

    Mix Thoroughly

    Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve

  1. 7

    Plate the Shrimp

    Arrange the chilled U-6 shrimp on a serving platter, tail side up for an attractive presentation.

  2. 8

    Add Cocktail Sauce

    Serve the shrimp with the cocktail sauce in a small bowl on the side for dipping.
