Chilled Colossal Shrimp

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water, lemon halves, bay leaves, and Old Bay seasoning to a boil.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the colossal shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine horseradish sauce, harissa paste, ketchup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a platter. Serve chilled with the harissa-horseradish cocktail sauce on the side.
