Method
Prepare the Cocktail Sauce
Make the Sauce
In a bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Cook the Shrimp
Cook the Shrimp
In a pot of boiling salted water, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the water and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
Assemble the Cocktail
Layer the Ingredients
In a serving bowl, layer the shredded iceberg lettuce at the bottom, followed by diced tomatoes and onions. Place the cooked shrimp on top of the vegetables.
Finish with Toppings
Top the shrimp with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the cocktail.
