Only change I made was adding a little dried tarragon instead of fresh. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce is the best ever! Shrimp cocktail is all about the shrimp: big, fat, perfectly cooked gorgeous shrimp. Yet shrimp cocktail somehow remains singular, associated most frequently with celebratory meals out.
Steps to make Shrimp cocktail:
- boil shrimp in salt water (large pot, 1Tbsp salt) if shrimp r precooked defrost fully in cold water instead of boiling them. tips: bring water to boil before throwing shrimp in, they will float to the surface when done. dont leave the shrimp in too long, you want them tender not chewy!
- cool shrimp in cold water ( ice speeds up the process of coarse.) when cooled, or defrosted, peel shrimp and devein (to devein shrimp, run a paring knife along the outer curve of the shrimp almost 1/4in deep from top to bottom youll see it!) its poop u dont want to eat that part!
- throw the shrimp in the bowl with all other ingredients, toss well, but gently u dont want to mash the avocado or tomatoes… chill for atleast an hour n enjoy! great with saltine crackers and a slice of lime
- a great add-in is chunked octopus.
