TRULY THE BEST SHRIMP COCKTAIL RECIPE EVER
Look, I know it's a little ridiculous to call a recipe "the best," buuuuttttttt this recipe is seriously THE BEST shrimp cocktail recipe ever. The poaching method gives the shrimp a wonderful, delicate texture and flavor, and the sauce has a hint of gin in it, so. Don't miss it.

Steps:
- In small bowl, mix together the ketchup, lemon juice, horseradish, gin, Tabasco, celery salt, and sea salt. Chill until ready to serve. Stir in parsley right before serving.
- Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails attached. You can refer to the video for visual cues on how to do this.
- Place peels into a large pot. Add water, vermouth or wine, 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt, peppercorns, coriander seeds, bay leaves, onion, tarragon, and lemon.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let sit 30 minutes more, then strain broth through a fine sieve into a fresh pot.
- Bring stock to a boil, then remove from heat. Add shrimp and cover tightly. Leave for 3 to 4 minutes, until just opaque throughout (still off the heat - the shrimp "poach" in the residual heat and remain amazingly tender).
- While the shrimp poach, fill a large bowl with ice water and the remaining tablespoon kosher salt.
- Transfer shrimp to bowl to stop the cooking and chill thoroughly. They will firm up a bit as they cool.

MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL
I first tried something similar to this in San Antonio and could never find a recipe that really recaptured what I had there. I experimented and finally came up with this. Anyone who has tried it has begged for the recipe. Try it with tortilla chips!

CLASSIC SHRIMP COCKTAIL
One of Martha's favorite entertaining strategies is to serve a pared-down-but still special feeling-menu. Her classic shrimp cocktail is a perfect example: it's an easy but elegant starter that shines because it calls for the very best ingredients-including a quick homemade cocktail sauce. When preparing this spread, use high-quality, sustainably sourced shrimp, and plan on about three to six shrimp per guest.

Steps:
- Shrimp: Cover a rimmed baking sheet with ice (to later cool down shrimp). In a large stockpot combine 12 cups water, carrot, celery, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and peppercorns. Cut one lemon in half; squeeze half the juice into the water and add the rind. Cut remaining 1 1/2 lemons into small wedges for serving; set aside.
- Bring water to a boil. Add shrimp, cover; remove from heat. Let stand until shrimp are bright pink and curled; 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to prepared tray of ice to cool completely. Once cool, shrimp can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.
- Cocktail Sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients until combined. (Cocktail sauce can be made ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.)
- To Serve: Peel shrimp, leaving tails intact if desired. Using a paring knife, make a shallow cut along backs of shrimp to remove vein. Arrange shrimp neatly on a platter, shingling them slightly to make a pattern, and serve chilled with cocktail sauce and reserved lemon wedges on the side.

- Make the mango-basil sauce: Pulse mangoes, lemon rind and juice, vinegar, salt, and white pepper in a food processor until smooth. Fold in basil. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
- Make the tomato-horseradish sauce: Stir together chili sauce, horseradish, and lemon juice. Season with black pepper. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
- Make the remoulade: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir in celery, parsley, and scallion. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately (or refrigerate for up to 1 day).
- Place shell-on shrimp in a large bowl, or peel shrimp and arrange in small serving dishes. Serve with the 3 sauces on the side.
CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP COCKTAIL
Before I knew much about food or dining out, I knew that if they brought shrimp cocktails to the table as an appetizer, we were eating at a 'fancy' restaurant. I'm sure I enjoyed the shrimp, but what I really loved was dipping the crackers in the spicy, horseradish-spiked cocktail sauce.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL WITH HOMEMADE SAUCE
Who doesn't love shrimp cocktail? It always scores major fancy points but couldn't be easier to make--even when you concoct your own cocktail sauce. The cardinal sin of shrimp cocktail is serving mealy, overcooked shrimp; cooking them with the peel on will help prevent them from overcooking. Also, leave enough time to chill the shrimp well-it's important to serve them to your guests ice cold!

Steps:
- For the shrimp: In a wide, shallow pan, combine the lemon, peppercorns, bay leaves, wine, and salt. Bring the poaching liquid to a gentle simmer over low heat. Add the shrimp and poach them for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they turn pink. Drain the shrimp and let them cool until they're cool enough to handle.
- Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails on.
- Look for the dark "vein" that runs the length of the shrimp's back. In order to remove it without destroying the shrimp, I recommend laying the shrimp on its side and carefully running a sharp paring knife down its back to make a shallow cut. Use the tip of the knife to extract the exposed vein.
- Refrigerate the shrimp until you're about to serve them.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, pepper, lemon juice, and horseradish to make the cocktail sauce. Taste the sauce and season with more horseradish if you want to add extra kick. Refrigerate.
- Serve both the shrimp and cocktail sauce very cold.
