Shrimp and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Once cooled, drain and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the cooked shrimp on a plate. Serve the spicy cocktail sauce in a small bowl alongside the shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
