How to Make Shrimp In Hot Cocktail Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, add enough cold water to cover 1 pound of shrimp by 1 inch.
- Add 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 tablespoon lemon peel (finely grated), 1 bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 30 seconds, or until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Do not overcook!
- Immediately remove the shrimp from the boiling water and rinse under cold running water until completely cool. Drain thoroughly.
- **Prepare the Cocktail Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup horseradish (prepared), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Chill the cocktail sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Line cocktail glasses or small bowls with bibb lettuce leaves. Add 1 tablespoon of chilled cocktail sauce to each glass.
- Divide the cooked shrimp evenly among the glasses. Garnish each serving with an additional teaspoon of cocktail sauce and a thin lemon wedge.
