1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup chili sauce (Heinz)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, large shrimp. Look for shrimp that are bright pink or orange in color and have a firm texture. Avoid shrimp that are gray or have black spots.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the shrimp and make them easier to eat.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before cooking. This will help to add flavor to the shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium heat until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with cocktail sauce. Cocktail sauce is a classic dipping sauce for shrimp that is made with ketchup, horseradish, and lemon juice.
