CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP COCKTAIL



Chef John's Shrimp Cocktail image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 quarts cold water
¼ onion, sliced
½ lemon
2 cloves garlic, peeled and bruised
2 sprigs fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup chili sauce
¼ cup prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 drops hot sauce, or to taste
1 pinch salt
2 pounds shell-on deveined jumbo shrimp

Steps:

  • Stir water, onion, lemon, garlic, tarragon, seafood seasoning, peppercorns, and bay leaf together in a large pot; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk ketchup, chili sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and salt together in a bowl; refrigerate until chilled, at least 15 minutes.
  • Bring poaching liquid to a rapid boil. Cook the shrimp in the boiling liquid until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl of ice water and immerse in ice water until cold; drain. Arrange cold shrimp on a platter and serve with chilled sauce.

TRULY THE BEST SHRIMP COCKTAIL RECIPE EVER



Truly the Best Shrimp Cocktail Recipe Ever image

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.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup (272 grams) ketchup
1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 1/2 teaspoons (12 grams) prepared horseradish, drained well
1 teaspoon good gin
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
2 pounds (907 grams) unpeeled colossal shrimp
8 cups (1900 ml) water
1 cup (237 ml) dry vermouth or white wine
2 tablespoons kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 bay leaves
1 small onion, sliced
4 fresh tarragon sprigs
1 lemon, halved

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.
