Equipment

  • Cheesecloth

Ingredients

Cocktail Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Horseradish (Grated Horseradish, not Horseradish Sauce)
  • 1 3/4 cup Chili Sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper

Shrimp

  • 2 Lemons halved
  • 3 Bay Leaves
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 cup White Sine
  • 8 Peppercorns
  • 24 large Shrimp (21-25 count), deveined and peeled, tails left on or 24 large prepared Frozen Shrimp

Instructions

Cocktail Sauce

  • Place horseradish into the cheesecloth. Strain horseradish in the sieve for 2 - 3 minutes, or until reduced to 1/4 cup. Squeeze the cheesecloth to extract all the liquid.
  • In a small mixing bowl add strained horseradish, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Whisk until completely blended.
  • Taste. Add more salt and pepper, to taste, if needed.
  • Serve immediately or store in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, until ready to serve up to 7 days.

Shrimp

  • Fill a large saucepan with water.
  • Add the halved lemons, bay leaves, garlic cloves, white wine and peppercorns.
  • Place saucepan over high heat and bring to boil. Then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Add shrimp to the simmering water so they are completely immersed (add more water if needed).
  • Increase heat and bring water to boil. Cook shrimp for 4 - 5 minutes if thawed or about 8 minutes if frozen.
  • Remove from pan and place in an ice bath - a bowl filled with crushed ice and water - to stop the cooking and chill.
  • If serving immediately, allow shrimp sit in ice bath for 15 - 20 minutes to chill completely. Otherwise, remove shrimp from bowl and place in a container.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours or until ready to serve, no longer than overnight.
