How to Make Roasted Shrimp And Cocktail Sauce

Thaw shrimp completely. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
Arrange shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 5-10 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Cooking time will depend on the size of your shrimp.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
While shrimp roasts, prepare the cocktail sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more horseradish for extra zing or lemon juice for brightness.
Serve the roasted shrimp immediately, at room temperature, or chilled, with the chilled cocktail sauce for dipping.
