SHRIMP COCKTAILS



Shrimp Cocktails image

After tweaking a recipe seen on "Barefoot Contessa," I arrived at this delicious, LOW FAT, high protein hors d'oeuvre that everyone (even the non-fish eaters) gobble up! Dead simple to make - just be sure to devein the shrimp, and don't cook them too long. Classically served with sauce in a martini glass, with shrimp hanging around the edges.

Time 18m

Yield 15 shrimp, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lemon
kosher salt
1 lb shrimp (raw, in shell, about 15 of the medium or large, 15-30 per lb. size)
1/3 cup chili sauce (Heinz)
1/2 cup ketchup (Heinz)
1 tablespoon horseradish (prepared, creamy)
2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • SAUCE:.
  • Make the sauce at least one hour in advance (even better with 24 hours in the fridge).
  • For the cocktail sauce, combine the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Chill at least one hour, if possible.
  • SHRIMP:.
  • Cut the lemon in half and add it to a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the shrimp and cook, uncovered, for only 3 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water to immediately stop cooking.
  • When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel and devein them (back-sides). Keep cold until ready to serve.
