How To Make Shrimp Cocktail Recipe?

1. Make the Cocktail Sauce: In a bowl, mix the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Tabasco, garlic, and cilantro. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Prepare Ice Bath & Cook Shrimp: Fill a large bowl with ice water. In a large pot, add Old Bay, lemon, garlic powder, garlic, chili powder, and salt. Bring to a boil.
3. Cook Shrimp: Once the water boils, add the shrimp. They’re done when the water boils again and the shrimp turn bright pink.
4. Cool Shrimp: Drain the shrimp and place them in the ice bath for 2 minutes. Peel them, keeping the tails on, and drain again.
5. Serve: Serve the shrimp chilled with the cocktail sauce on the side.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Shrimp: Fresh shrimp tastes best. If you use frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
• Don’t Overcook: Shrimp cook quickly. Take them out when they turn pink to keep them soft.
• Chill After Cooking: After cooking, cool the shrimp in ice water. It helps them stay firm and easy to peel.
• Spice It Up: If you like it spicy, add more Tabasco or horseradish to the sauce.
• Prepare Ahead: You can make the sauce and cook the shrimp earlier. Just keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Allow the leftover shrimp cocktail to cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
