Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until fully combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Serve

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