Shellfish Cocktail Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Preparing the Shrimp

   In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and transfer the shrimp into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let it chill for about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Assembling the Cocktail

   On a serving platter or individual serving glasses, place a bed of shredded lettuce at the bottom. Arrange the chilled shrimp on top of the lettuce.

3. 3

   Serving

   Serve with cocktail sauce on the side and garnish with lemon wedges. Add ice around the platter or glasses to keep the shrimp cold.
