Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water, lemon slices, bay leaves, and salt to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  2. 2

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a separate bowl, mix together the horseradish, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with hot sauce if desired.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Drain the shrimp and serve chilled with the cocktail sauce on the side.
