Shrimp Cocktail

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Poaching the Shrimp

    In a large pot, combine the Tecate beer, water, lemon juice, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain the shrimp, then place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  3. 3

    Making the Cocktail Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together the Valentina hot sauce, ketchup, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  4. 4

    Making the Habanero Horseradish Cream

    In another bowl, mix together the sour cream, prepared horseradish, minced habanero, lime juice, and salt to taste. Stir until smooth.

  5. 5

    Serve the poached shrimp chilled with the Valentina cocktail sauce and habanero horseradish cream on the side.
