Shrimp Cocktail
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare an ice bath and set aside. In a colander, thaw frozen shrimp by running cold water over them. In a large saucepan bring water to a boil. Add shrimp and bring back to a boil. Shrimp is done when it turns bright pink. Remove cooked shrimp and transfer to the ice bath.
- In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, horseradish and lemon juice.
- There are a variety of ways to serve the shrimp cocktail.
- For individuals serve using a martini glass with cocktail sauce in the glass and shrimp on the rim. Add a slice of lemon. You can also use a margarita glass with the shrimp on the edge with cocktail sauce in the glass.
- For larger gatherings and warmer weather parties, use an ice bowl by using two nesting bowls. Place ice in the bottom bowl and the shrimp in the top bowl with the cocktail sauce in the center. Nest the top bowl over ice.
- My last idea is to fill a punch bowl or trifle bowl with ice. Place a small bowl in the center for the cocktail sauce. Put lemons on the edge of the bowl and arrange shrimp over ice around center bowl.
