ROASTED SHRIMP COCKTAIL
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt and pepper and spread them in one layer. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, just until pink, firm and cooked through. Set aside to cool.
- For the sauce, mix the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Top the shrimp with lemon zest and serve with the sauce.
ROASTED SHRIMP COCKTAIL WITH AIOLI
Many renditions of shrimp cocktail are dull and bland, with over-boiled shrimp and cloying cocktail sauce. Not this one. The shrimp are roasted, which brings out their sweetness and allows them to absorb the seasonings and a little olive oil. Though traditionally made with garlic, this aioli replaces it with horseradish. And instead of cocktail sauce, they are paired with a horseradish-laced aioli seasoned with ketchup and hot sauce. If you like an even edgier sauce, feel free to increase the hot sauce and horseradish to taste. The sauce, which can be made up to 3 days ahead, is also terrific on roasted fish.

Steps:
- Marinate the Halibut in tequila, lime, cilantro, and garlic.
- Sauce preparation: Blend sauce ingredients in blender or food processor.
- Broil the fish and drizzle with sauce.
- Serve with rice and seasonal vegetable and a wedge of lime.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: For the best results, use large, fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Make sure the shrimp is properly deveined: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat. To devein shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Then, use your fingers to remove the vein.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, or until it is pink and opaque.
- Use a good quality tequila: The tequila you use in the marinade will make a big difference in the flavor of the shrimp. Use a tequila that you would enjoy drinking.
- Let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will help the shrimp absorb the flavors of the marinade. If you don't have time to marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes, you can marinate it for a shorter amount of time, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store the shrimp, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Roasted Tequila Lime Shrimp Cocktail is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp is marinated in a flavorful tequila lime marinade, then roasted until cooked through. The shrimp is served with a refreshing lime crema and a sprinkle of cilantro. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
