Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

    In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Season with salt to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let cool completely.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the cooled shrimp on a platter and serve with the chilled cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
