It's all in the presentation for this easy to make shrimp cocktail.
Instead of searching for cocktail glasses, how about using Martini
glasses instead? Very sharp! |
Ingredients Serves
two
- 10 - 12 jumbo tiger shrimp, poached and de-veined
- two tablespoons fresh grated horseradish root (prepared horseradish
also works)
- 1/2 cup crushed tomatoes (canned works well)
- pinch of salt, to taste
- fresh grated black peppercorns, to taste
- dash each of Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce, to taste
- juice of half a lemon
- two wedges, lemon
- couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary
Method
- Poach shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn pink,
then douse them immediately into cold water to stop the cooking
process.

Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce and lemon juice. Spoon into
ramekin or serving dish.
- Fill Martini glasses three-quarters full with crushed ice.
