Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the U-12 shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  2. 2

    Ice Bath

    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 a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Serve

    Drain the shrimp and serve them chilled on a platter with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce on the side. Add fresh horseradish to the cocktail sauce for an extra kick.
