1/2 lemon, squeezed (juice reserved) and the shell, plus 4 wedges for garnish
1/4 cup white wine
4 cups water
2 bay leaves
1 pound medium (about 30) shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail segment left intact
Cocktail sauce, recipe follows
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 drops hot pepper sauce, optional

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the peppercorns, coriander seeds, celery, tarragon, thyme, parsley, Essence, salt, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, white wine, water and bay leaves and bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp to the boiling water, stir, cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 8 to 10 minutes, or until shrimp are just cooked through.
  • Strain in a colander and transfer the shrimp to a large bowl. Discard the cooking liquid and seasonings. Refrigerate the shrimp until well chilled, about 1 hour. While the shrimp are chilling, make the Cocktail Sauce.
  • When ready to serve, divide the shrimp among 4 small bowls, and hang them on the rim of each bowl. Divide the cocktail sauce into 4 equal portions and place in the bottom of each bowl. Garnish each bowl with a lemon wedge. Alternatively, you can arrange a layer of crushed ice in the bottom of 4 bowls, put a small ramekin of the cocktail sauce in the ice and arrange the shrimp on the ice around the sauce.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

  • Combine all ingredients in a small non-reactive bowl and stir until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Not a fan. The sauce was too spicy for my taste and the shrimp were not cooked evenly.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
