Method

Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Cool the Shrimp

    Once cooked, immediately remove the shrimp from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Serve

    Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Cocktail Sauce

  1. 4

    Mix the Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of horseradish, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

  2. 5

    Adjust Flavor

    Taste the cocktail sauce and add hot sauce to your preference if desired. Stir well.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the cocktail sauce to a serving bowl and serve alongside the shrimp.
