Shrimp cocktail is perfect in every way: perfect snack, perfect party food, perfect perfect perfect. Here, the shrimp are poached in a salty, oniony broth and served with a cocktail sauce that’s acidic, spicy, savory, and probably the only time you’ll see me use ketchup. I love it, you’ll love it, everyone loves it. It’s simply not a party unless there's shrimp cocktail!

Here in Japan there is another way to devein shrimp which does not,ruin the back of the shrimp. You use a toothpick to pierce the back of the shrimp, just below where the vein is lying and pull up. The vein will come out. Keep pulling and the whole vein comes out. Do this on the uncooked shrimp.

A Chinese friend of mine showed me how to de-vein the shrimp with the shell on before cooking. You insert the toothpicks about 5 mm below the bow in the back and gently pull up. There are plenty videos to show the technique. I use the shells (cooked or raw) to make shrimp stock and then Tom Yum Soup

And using worcestershire sauce, which is perfect and lemons, which are essential and all the other suggestions! Delicious! Such flavor! Pure genius!! Thank you thank you thank you, Alison!!!

I am decidedly in the "remove the poop chute" camp. In Indianapolis, we are blessed with the famous St. Elmo's Steak House which is known for their shrimp cocktail. It is very horseradish heavy and will clear your sinuses! They are bottling it now but I've not tried it as I prefer to make my own using your basic recipe with Tabasco. If you're ever in Indy, give it a try.

@bruh-jy2rg 2 жыл бұрын

YES! St. Elmo's is my cocktail sauce North Star. It punches you in the face but you still can't stop coming back for more. Have tried their bottled version and it's just as good. I'm in Indy for the holidays and this reminded me to pack a few before I head back.

Alternatively, for more flavour, shell the shrimp, add shells to court bouillon, boil the bouillon for a few minutes, remove from heat. Add shrimp, let them cook slowly in bouillon and therefore cool in the stock, absorbing more flavour. This is a technique taught to me by the exec. chef for the prez of CN railways. It gives you a tender and delicious outcome.

@r.g8725 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Nessuno, for the ' cook and cool off-heat' method. Yes, shells in court bullion DOES flavor the veg broth much better. And yes, removing shells allows shrimp to be MUCH more flavored. {What I didn't know was the off-heat method.}

I made pickled shrimp before Christmas. I knew I would devein them, but couldn’t decide if I should do it before or after poaching them. I was wondering if the poaching liquid would penetrate the shrimp if the shells were on. Turns out the shrimp were deveined, but with shells still on. Conundrum! I don’t like the frilly edges that come from having shells off, but wanted the flavor of the cooking liquid. If I’d had this video then, I would have left the shells on. But all things considered, the pickled shrimp were delicious. I’ll try your shrimp cocktail after I’ve eaten all of mine. Living In Florida, I do have luxury of eating shrimp often!

Here’s a tip for deveining pre cooked. No knife instead use a pair of kitchen scissors. Just cut the back of the shrimp snipping and running the scissors and then run the shrimp under the faucet and the vein coming out without taking the shell off
