Shrimp Cocktail

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and lemon halves. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp are pink and opaque. Drain and transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Let cool, then remove from ice water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and sugar. Mix well until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the shrimp on a platter and serve with the robust tomato horseradish sauce on the side for dipping.
