Perfectly poached jumbo shrimp served chilled with a tangy homemade cocktail sauce — a timeless appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Bowl & Basket Raw Shrimp (On Sale: $14.99)

  • 2 lemons (On Sale: 2/$1)

  • 1/2 cup ketchup

  • 2 tbsp prepared horseradish

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 bay leaf

  • Salt to taste

Directions

Step 1: Fill a large pot with water. Add juice of 1 lemon, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil.

Step 2: Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and curled.

Step 3: Immediately transfer shrimp to an ice bath to stop cooking.

Step 4: Mix ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire, and juice of remaining lemon for the cocktail sauce.

Step 5: Drain and peel shrimp, leaving tails on.

Step 6: Arrange shrimp around the rim of a bowl or platter with cocktail sauce in the center.

Step 7: Garnish with lemon wedges and serve cold.

Chef's Tip: Don't overcook the shrimp — they should be just pink and firm. Overcooked shrimp get rubbery.

Serve with Lemon wedges and crackers.
