I first tried something similar to this in San Antonio and could never find a recipe that really recaptured what I had there. I experimented and finally came up with this. Anyone who has tried it has begged for the recipe. Try it with tortilla chips!

Shrimp Cocktail Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large shell-on shrimp, white wine, water, garlic, lemons, kosher salt, cocktail sauce

Provided by Codii Lopez

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lb large shell-on shrimp
1 bottle white wine
2 cups water
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
2 lemons, halved crosswise, plus wedges, for serving
kosher salt, to taste
cocktail sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Use a paring knife to make a slit down the back of a shrimp to expose the vein. Use the tip of the knife to get under the vein and pull the vein out. Remove the rest of the shell, leaving the tail on. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, combine the white wine, water, garlic, halved lemons, and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Add the shrimp and cook until pink and tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid with a slotted spoon.
  • Serve the shrimp with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cocktail.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Make your own cocktail sauce. It's easy to make and much tastier than store-bought sauce.
  • Get creative with your garnishes. Use whatever you have on hand, such as lemon wedges, lime wedges, fresh herbs, or chopped vegetables.
  • Serve the cocktail chilled. This will help to keep the shrimp fresh and prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.

Conclusion:

Korean shrimp cocktail is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and spicy flavor, it is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give Korean shrimp cocktail a try. You won't be disappointed!
