shrimp cocktail recipe

However old-fashioned it may seem, shrimp cocktail is a classic. We've updated this party standby with a zesty homemade sauce that packs a flavorful punch thanks to acidic ketchup, spicy chili sauce, and salty Worcestershire sauce.

Thanks, perfect shrimp cocktail!  The best!

I made this. It was super easy &amp; delicious.  Thanks for posting.

Can you put frozen shrimp into the water directly or do you have to thaw the frozen shrimp first? This seems incredibly simple and delicious, I’d love to try, but I can only find frozen wild shrimp currently. Thank you!

First time for actually cooking the shrimp first myself for a cocktail...turned out fab! Then I used your recipe for the sauce, and it was fab....added that extra something to my usual. Thanks so much!

That cocktail sauce is totally calling out to me!

This shrimp cocktail platter is full of flavor and makes the perfect party appetizer!

celery

salt

thyme

parsley

black peppercorns

bay leaf

lemon (divided)

cocktail sauce (for serving, optional)

Fill a medium saucepan ⅔ full with water. Add celery, salt, thyme, parsley, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes (while you prepare the shrimp if needed).

If your shrimp have the shells on, you will need to remove the shell leaving the tail intact. To prepare shrimp, cut the top of the shrimp shell along the back all the way down to the tail. Remove the shell leaving the tail in place. Place a small knife under the black vein and remove and discard it. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

Add shrimp and half of the lemon to the simmering water. Immediately remove from heat and cover.

Let rest, covered, until shrimp are pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes for jumbo shrimp.

Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to the ice water until completely cooled.

Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and serve with the cooled shrimp and cocktail sauce. Shrimp can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before serving.

I make this all the time with fresh shrimp.  It’s amazing

Excellent recipe! I only have one thing to add... never buy 'fresh' shrimp, because so-called fresh shrimp have already been frozen at sea and defrosted before sale. Because of this, you have no way of knowing how long it has been since the shrimp were defrosted. Purchasing frozen shrimp, which were frozen soon after being caught, you have the freshest shrimp available. Unless you live close to where fishing boats dock, and can purchase directly from a dock fish market, always buy frozen and defrost them yourself for the best quality shrimp.
