CREOLE BOILED SHRIMP COCKTAIL
This recipe is from Emerils cookbook "Emeril's kitchens", which is basically a compilation of recipes from all of his restaurants. This one is from Delmonico's Steakhouse. It is really easy prepare despite all the ingredients. It is absolutely the best shrimp cocktail I have ever eaten.
