Shrimp Cocktail Kit
Product Details
The classic party app just got a whole lot easier. Wild shrimp poach until pink in just a few minutes—dish them up alongside homemade cocktail sauce and a thick stack of napkins.
Contains: crustacean shellfish.
Note: The shrimp arrives frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place it in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
What You Get
Peeled, deveined wild shrimp (see note below)
Ketchup
Lemon
Horseradish
What You'll Need
Salt
Black peppercorns
Dry white wine (optional)
Bay leaf (optional)
Step 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add a few peppercorns, along with 1 cup white wine and 1 bay leaf, if using. Add the shrimp, cover the pot, and remove from the heat. Poach until bright pink and firm, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the shrimp and pat dry. Transfer the shrimp to a covered container and chill until ready to serve. (You can make the shrimp up to 2 days in advance.)
Step 2
To make the cocktail sauce, in a small bowl, stir together 1 cup ketchup, the juice of ½ lemon, and 1 to 2 tablespoons horseradish to taste. Cover and keep chilled until ready to serve. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges for serving.
Step 3
Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter with the cocktail sauce on the side. Serve cold, with the lemon wedges for squeezing.
