Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Whisk together the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and hot sauce in a small bowl.

Step 2: Cover the sauce and chill it for at least an hour so the flavors settle.

Step 3: Keep the shrimp ring refrigerated until the moment you are ready to set it out.

Step 4: Spoon the cocktail sauce into a small serving bowl and set it in the center of the platter.

Step 5: Arrange the lemon wedges around the edge of the ring.

Step 6: Scatter the parsley over the shrimp and serve cold.

Chef's Tip: The sauce that comes in the center of the ring is fine, but ten cents of horseradish and a squeeze of lemon turns it into something people ask about. Keep the platter cold by setting the ring over a shallow bed of crushed ice. Make the sauce a day ahead if you can, because the horseradish and Worcestershire need a few hours to come together.

Save by using Picking up the shrimp ring already arranged instead of buying and poaching raw shrimp and Serve with Crackers and a wedge of sharp cheese alongside.
