SHRIMP COCKTAIL
During the '60s, shrimp cocktail was one of the most popular party foods around. And it is still a crowd favorite. It's the one appetizer that I serve for every special occasion as well as for munchie meals. -Peggy Allen, Pasadena, California

Steps:
- Put the water, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, lemon, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer, set a cover on top slightly ajar, and cook for 10 to 30 minutes.
- Drop the shrimp into the liquid and turn off the heat. Cook the shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they curl and turn pink, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes for medium shrimp, 3 minutes for large ones. Drain and cool to room temperature. Peel the shrimp and remove the vein along the curve of the shrimp, if desired. Refrigerate if not serving right away. If refrigerated, bring the shrimp to room temperature 20 minutes before serving.
- To serve put the cocktail sauce in a medium bowl and surround with the shrimp, or loop the shrimp over the edge of an individual cocktail glass and top with the sauce. Garnish with the lemon and serve.
- Optional Tip: To de-vein the shrimp before cooking, hold a shrimp between the thumb and forefinger with the rounded side of the shrimp upward. Place the pointed end of a wooden skewer at the junction of the second and third segments of the shrimp shell, about 1/8-inch down from the top. Gently push the skewer through the shell and then lift up to remove the vein.
- Combine the ketchup, lemon zest and juice, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Add hot sauce, if desired. Mix well, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Yield: 1 1/2 cups
ROASTED SHRIMP COCKTAIL
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place them on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread them in 1 layer. Roast for 8 to10 minutes, just until pink and firm and cooked through. Set aside to cool.
- For the sauce, combine the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Serve as a dip with the shrimp.
SIMPLE SHRIMP COCKTAIL
I played with different ways of cooking shrimp for a while and different seasonings to spice it up, but this really became the standard; good shrimp, seasoned just to highlight their flavor, and refreshing cocktail sauce to compliment them perfectly. This is a big hit at all of our family gatherings as an appetizer, snack, or even part of the meal. No more over-paying for those tiny, rubbery shrimp cocktail circles at the grocery store, only to dip them in mediocre cocktail sauce. Try this for easy and yummy shrimp cocktail!

Steps:
- Set oven to 400°F.
- Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray, or sparingly brush with vegetable oil, and spread shrimp out in a single layer. Sprinkle on salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly. Make sure to spread shrimp back into a single layer so that they do not overlap during cooking.
- Cook on middle oven rack until shrimp turn pink (2-5 minutes) and then turn shrimp over and repeat. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp or they will end up very rubbery. You can also boil the shrimp for 4 minutes (on a constant rolling boil) but I think that baking them really allows their natural flavors to brighten.
- Remove shrimp from oven and enjoy warm, or allow to cool to room temperature before moving shrimp to the fridge for chilled shrimp cocktail.
- Make the sauce: blend all ingredients in a small bowl or ramican, adjusting ingredients to suite your taste. (At this point, I will sometimes add some chili sauce or Tobasco to give it a kick) If you accidentally add too much spice, just add more ketchup until it's just right.

CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP COCKTAIL
Before I knew much about food or dining out, I knew that if they brought shrimp cocktails to the table as an appetizer, we were eating at a 'fancy' restaurant. I'm sure I enjoyed the shrimp, but what I really loved was dipping the crackers in the spicy, horseradish-spiked cocktail sauce.

I first tried something similar to this in San Antonio and could never find a recipe that really recaptured what I had there. I experimented and finally came up with this. Anyone who has tried it has begged for the recipe. Try it with tortilla chips!
