Time 1h25m

Yield 50 to 60 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce, or more to taste
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon chile powder
1 clove garlic, pressed
Juice of 1 lemon
1 green onion, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
2 to 3 avocados (ripe but not overripe)
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
Salt
About 3/4 cup milk
12 to 13 pounds peeled, cooked, tail-on large shrimp, chilled
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the remoulade: Stir together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, parsley, capers, chile powder, garlic, lemon juice and green onions in a bowl (or for a smoother remoulade, whizz in a food processor). Chill thoroughly before serving.
  • For the classic cocktail sauce: Stir the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire and some salt and pepper together in a bowl. Chill before serving.
  • For the avocado crema: Put the yogurt, cilantro, avocados, lime juice and some salt in a food processor and mix until completely smooth. Gradually add the milk and keep blending until the desired consistency is reached. (You can add more or less milk as desired.)
  • Arrange the shrimp on a large platter over ice, and serve with separate ramekins of the avocado crema, remoulade and classic cocktail sauce and lemon wedges to garnish.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Make sure the shrimp are completely chilled before serving. This will help the cocktail sauce to adhere to them.
  • For a more flavorful cocktail sauce, use a good quality ketchup. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as horseradish, lemon juice, or Worcestershire sauce.
  • Serve the shrimp cocktail with plenty of ice. This will help to keep them chilled and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Shrimp cocktail is a classic party appetizer that is always a hit. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect shrimp cocktail that will impress your guests.
