Shrimp Marinade

Cocktail Sauce

Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add the jumbo shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off excess. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Once the shrimp are cooked, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.

Making the Cocktail Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Adjust seasoning with hot sauce to taste.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled jumbo shrimp with the cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
