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.

Chef John's Shrimp Cocktail image

Before I knew much about food or dining out, I knew that if they brought shrimp cocktails to the table as an appetizer, we were eating at a 'fancy' restaurant. I'm sure I enjoyed the shrimp, but what I really loved was dipping the crackers in the spicy, horseradish-spiked cocktail sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Sauce makes 1 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)
Zest of 1 orange
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 50)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix orange juice, orange zest, sour cream, vinegar, and horseradish; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover orange-horseradish sauce, and chill at last 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Heat grill or grill pan to medium-hot. Drizzle shrimp with olive oil, and toss to coat. Arrange shrimp on grill, working in batches if necessary. Grill until pink and developing golden-brown marks, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat. Serve shrimp with orange-horseradish sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cocktail.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Cook them until they are just opaque and pink.
  • Make your own cocktail sauce. It's easy to do and much tastier than store-bought sauce.
  • Chill the cocktail sauce before serving. This will help it to thicken and develop its flavor.
  • Serve the shrimp cocktail with plenty of ice. This will keep them cold and refreshing.
  • Garnish the shrimp cocktail with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Shrimp cocktail is a classic appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a simple but elegant appetizer, give shrimp cocktail a try. You won't be disappointed.
