Shrimp With Better Cocktail Sauce Recipes

SHRIMP COCKTAIL RECIPE WITH THE BEST SAUCE

Steps:

• Thaw shrimp according to package instructions, then rinse under cold water and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Place shrimp on a large rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and sprinkle on 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine then arrange shrimp in a single layer.
• Bake at 450˚F for 8-10 min or until shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through.* As soon as they come out of the oven, test a shrimp for doneness then transfer all shrimp to a serving platter. If they stay on the hot baking sheet, they can get overcooked.
• Combine all of the Cocktail Sauce ingredients, adding horseradish and hot sauce to taste (Add more if you love cocktail sauce with a spicy kick and less if you prefer a mild sauce). Cover and refrigerate sauce and shrimp for at least an hour or overnight. Serve chilled.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL WITH THREE SAUCES

Steps:

• Make the shrimp: Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Boil shrimp until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Drain, and refrigerate.
• 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.

SHRIMP WITH COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• 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 the shrimp are just cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cool water. When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel and devein them. Keep cold until ready to serve.
• For the cocktail sauce, combine the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Serve with the shrimp.

SHRIMP WITH BETTER COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Combine the shrimp in a saucepan with water to cover. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, remove from the heat, and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and chill (you can run the shrimp under cold water if you're in a hurry).
• 2. Combine the ketchup, vinegar, and butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts. (At this point, you can keep the sauce warm for over an hour - but keep the heat as low as possible.) Add horseradish to taste.
• 3. Serve the cold shrimp with the sauce, warm or cold.
• Keys to Success
• The easiest way to cook shrimp is to let them steep in hot water until they're done; they will cook through but not overcook, and thus remain tender. Peel them before cooking.
• With Minimal Effort
• If you have fresh horseradish, grate it and serve it separately from the sauce; dip the shrimp into the ketchup sauce and then into the horseradish.
• Use fresh lemon juice instead of vinegar and/or Tabasco or other hot sauce in place of the horseradish.
• Cook the shrimp with herbs or spices, such as a premixed combination of pickling spices, or simply a couple of bay leaves, some peppercorns, and some whole coriander seeds.
• Wine: Chardonnay or Pinot Blanc
• Serve With: If you serve this as an appetizer, follow with pasta or risotto. If you serve this as a main course, serve with bread and a steamed vegetable

ROASTED SHRIMP WITH HOMEMADE COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Blot the shrimp dry and place in a medium bowl along with the garlic, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the olive oil. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• For the sauce: Heat the butter in a large nonreactive skillet. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until coppery brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the ground coriander and the thyme, and stir to combine. Add the pureed tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, the bay leaf and the lemon zest. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice, horseradish, cayenne and sugar, and taste for seasoning. Pour the sauce into a small bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving. (You can make the cocktail sauce up to 3 days ahead and keep refrigerated.)
• For the shrimp: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. When hot, place a heavy sheet pan in the oven to preheat for a couple of minutes.
• Add the marinated shrimp to the hot pan in a single, well-spaced layer. Roast the shrimp until curled into a "C" shape and pearly-white throughout, about 10 minutes.
• To serve: Arrange the lettuce leaves and the shrimp on separate platters, with the cocktail sauce on the side. Have guests assemble their own wraps: one shrimp per lettuce leaf, with a healthy dollop of cocktail sauce on top.
