Roasted Shrimp Cocktail With Aioli image

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.

1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolk, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup oil until completely incorporated. Whisk in horseradish, hot sauce and ketchup. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.

This recipe is a waste of time. The shrimp were tough and the aioli was bland.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the aioli was spot on.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out amazing. The aioli was also very good, but I added a little extra garlic to it.

This roasted shrimp cocktail with aioli was a hit at my last party! The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the aioli was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
