Shrimp Cocktail
Serves 4 to 8
Ingredients:
1 onion, peeled and quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 ribs celery, halved
2 bay leaves
12 peppercorns
8 sprigs of fresh thyme
2 tablespoons salt
1 lemon, halved
2 pounds Black Tiger shrimp, peeled and deveined
Cocktail Sauce:
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup prepared horseradish
1 lemon, zest and juice
dash Worcestershire sauce
dash or two Tabasco® sauce
Directions:
1. Combine the onion, garlic, celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, thyme and salt in a large stockpot and add 4 quarts of water. Squeeze the lemon into the water and toss the squeezed lemon halves into the pot as well. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the shrimp while the water simmers - peel and devein and make sure the shrimp is no longer frozen.
3. Prepare the cocktail sauce by combining all ingredients in a bowl and mixing well.
4. Drop the shrimp into the simmering liquid and turn off the heat. Give the shrimp a stir and let them sit in the hot liquid for about 3 minutes or until the water comes back to a boil. They should turn bright pink and feel firm if squeezed. Drain the shrimp and transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to cool for a few minutes. Remove from the ice bath and dry well. You can do this step a day ahead of time if desired.
5. Serve the shrimp with the cocktail sauce to dip into.
