Shrimp

Cocktail Sauce

Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Boil the Shrimp

    In a large pot, combine the water, lemon halves, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once the water is boiling, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to an ice bath (a bowl of ice and cold water) to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Drain the shrimp from the ice bath, pat dry with paper towels, and arrange on a serving platter.

Make the Cocktail Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.

  2. 6

    Season to Taste

    Add salt to taste, adjusting the flavors according to your preference.

  3. 7

    Serve with Shrimp

    Transfer the cocktail sauce to a small serving bowl and place it alongside the chilled shrimp on the platter.
