Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ravigote Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 cup of ketchup, 1 tbs of Dijon mustard, 1 tbs of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbs of prepared horseradish, and 1 tbs of hot sauce. Stir until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, create a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce. Arrange the cooked shrimp on top of the lettuce. Serve with lemon wedges and the ravigote sauce on the side for dipping.
