Creamy Shrimp Cocktail On A Plate Recipes

Steps:

• Make the cocktail sauce: Combine the chili sauce, ketchup, lemon juice, horseradish, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
• Make the shrimp: Combine 8 cups water, the bay leaves, quartered lemon, peppercorns, coriander seeds and 2 tablespoons salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and add the shrimp. Simmer until the shrimp curl slightly and are just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate with a slotted spoon; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Serve with the cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and place shrimp in large bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and gently toss to combine. Place shrimp onto baking sheet leaving space between them. Put sheet into oven and roast just until pink, firm and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces. (If you need to get this together faster, I put a baking sheet in the freezer until cold, then put the diced shrimp on it and stuff it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to chill.).
• Mix together the chili sauce, horseradish sauce, hot sauce, chopped celery, and half of the chopped green onions. Add shrimp and place in refrigerator to chill.
• With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat together the cream cheeses until very smooth. Spread onto a rimmed plate, (an offset spatula is helpful here), into a smooth frosting-like layer of equal thickness. Cover lightly with waxed paper and place in refrigerator to chill.
• When ready to serve, use a slotted spoon to place shrimp mixture on top of cream cheese on plate and sprinkle with remaining chopped green onions.
• Serve with buttery crackers.
