Recipe Summary 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.

Ingredients | Resepi Rendang Ayam Tok Chef Wan

3 quarts cold water

¼ onion, sliced

½ lemon

2 cloves garlic, peeled and bruised

2 sprigs fresh tarragon

1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

1 bay leaf

½ cup ketchup

¼ cup chili sauce

¼ cup prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3 drops hot sauce, or to taste

1 pinch salt

2 pounds shell-on deveined jumbo shrimp

Directions

Stir water, onion, lemon, garlic, tarragon, seafood seasoning, peppercorns, and bay leaf together in a large pot; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 15 minutes.

Whisk ketchup, chili sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and salt together in a bowl; refrigerate until chilled, at least 15 minutes.

Bring poaching liquid to a rapid boil. Cook the shrimp in the boiling liquid until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl of ice water and immerse in ice water until cold; drain. Arrange cold shrimp on a platter and serve with chilled sauce.
