Categories     Easy

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs raw shrimp
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lemon (cut into 4 wedges to serve (optional))
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup mild chili sauce (we like Heinz)
3-4 Tbsp prepared horseradish (or add to taste)
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed, or to taste)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp hot sauce (such as Tabasco, or to taste)

Steps:

  • Thaw shrimp according to package instructions, then rinse under cold water and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Place shrimp on a large rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and sprinkle on 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine then arrange shrimp in a single layer.
  • Bake at 450˚F for 8-10 min or until shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through.* As soon as they come out of the oven, test a shrimp for doneness then transfer all shrimp to a serving platter. If they stay on the hot baking sheet, they can get overcooked.
  • Combine all of the Cocktail Sauce ingredients, adding horseradish and hot sauce to taste (Add more if you love cocktail sauce with a spicy kick and less if you prefer a mild sauce). Cover and refrigerate sauce and shrimp for at least an hour or overnight. Serve chilled.

SHRIMP WITH BETTER COCKTAIL SAUCE

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Wedding     Horseradish     Shrimp     Boil     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 4 main-course servings or 8 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

About 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled (and deveined, if you like)
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon red wine or other vinegar
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, or to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the shrimp in a saucepan with water to cover. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, remove from the heat, and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and chill (you can run the shrimp under cold water if you're in a hurry).
  • 2. Combine the ketchup, vinegar, and butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts. (At this point, you can keep the sauce warm for over an hour - but keep the heat as low as possible.) Add horseradish to taste.
  • 3. Serve the cold shrimp with the sauce, warm or cold.
  • Keys to Success
  • The easiest way to cook shrimp is to let them steep in hot water until they're done; they will cook through but not overcook, and thus remain tender. Peel them before cooking.
  • With Minimal Effort
  • If you have fresh horseradish, grate it and serve it separately from the sauce; dip the shrimp into the ketchup sauce and then into the horseradish.
  • Use fresh lemon juice instead of vinegar and/or Tabasco or other hot sauce in place of the horseradish.
  • Cook the shrimp with herbs or spices, such as a premixed combination of pickling spices, or simply a couple of bay leaves, some peppercorns, and some whole coriander seeds.
  • Wine: Chardonnay or Pinot Blanc
  • Serve With: If you serve this as an appetizer, follow with pasta or risotto. If you serve this as a main course, serve with bread and a steamed vegetable

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, large shrimp.
  • Be sure to devein and peel the shrimp before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just pink and opaque. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Chill the shrimp for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to firm up and become more flavorful.
  • Serve the shrimp cocktail with a variety of dipping sauces, such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade.
  • Garnish the shrimp cocktail with lemon wedges, parsley, or dill.

Conclusion:

Shrimp cocktail is a classic appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your shrimp cocktail simple or spicy, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a delicious and elegant appetizer, give shrimp cocktail a try.
