Shrimp Cocktail

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the lemon halves, celery stalks, bay leaves, and large shrimp. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the ketchup, finely chopped chipotle peppers, fresh lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Once the shrimp have cooled, drain them and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with the chipotle cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
