Shrimp Cocktail With Whiskey Mayonnaise Recipes

PRAWN COCKTAIL!!!

Steps:

• If you are using whole prawns, remove heads and peel them. Leave a few whole for decorative purposes, if you wish. I find that with medium size already cooked prawns, deveining is usually not necessary (it's hard to do + so small it's barely noticeably especially with sauce).
• Mix together Sauce in a small bowl.
• Toss prawns with Sauce.
• Place a bit of lettuce in serving dishes. I like to use Martini glasses, but you can use any small serving vessel, or even small lettuce cups.
• Top with prawns. Serve, garnished with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley, if using.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Thaw the shrimp in the refrigerator overnight and rinse with cold water, then set aside. Or, quick thaw the shrimp by placing them in a bowl then rinsing with cold water for 15-20 minutes, and drain. Chill until ready to serve.
• In a small bowl, mix the chili sauce with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, the horseradish, worcestershire sauce and ground mustard. Slice the rest of the lemon into wedges.
• Top a platter with crushed ice cubes and top with the shrimp and lemon wedges. Serve cold with the cocktail sauce on the side.

STEAKHOUSE SHRIMP COCKTAIL WITH SISTER SAUCES

Steps:

• Poach the shrimp: Add 6 cups of water to a medium-sized saucepan. Squeeze the lemon juice into the saucepan and then add in the lemon halves as well. Add the parsley sprigs, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and peppercorns and bring to a simmer. Once the water is simmering, add the shrimp and cook until just opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and chill completely.
• To serve: Cover a platter with crushed ice and arrange the shrimp on top. Serve with the Spicy Cocktail and Lemon-Basil cocktail sauces.
• Add the ketchup, chipotle, horseradish and lemon juice to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, basil, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a small bowl and whisk to combine.

PRAWN (SHRIMP) COCKTAIL

Steps:

• To prepare prawns -remove heads and peel. I like to leave the tails intact for presentation (though if serving to children may be better to fully peel their prawns). Set aside.
• Layer lettuce leaves in the bottom of 4 small bowls. Top with 7 prawns to each bowl. Place them so that they can be seen around the edges of the bowl. Reserve remaining prawns.
• In a separate bowl combine chopped avocado and halved cherries. Mix and coat thoroughly with the juice of half a lemon. Place on top of the bowls of lettuce and prawns- share out amongst the 4 bowls.
• Top the cocktails with the remaining prawns (3 each bowl). Sprinkle with some herbs if desired and add some mayo or seafood sauce of your choice.

SHRIMP WITH BOURBON COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except shrimp in small bowl.
• Serve sauce as dip for shrimp.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Make the shrimp: In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp and 2 teaspoons salt, and set aside. Keep the 8 cups ice nearby, either in another large bowl or directly in the icemaker tray of your refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with 8 cups water, 1/2 cup salt, the chile powder and celery seeds, and bring to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add the shrimp to the hot liquid, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through and no longer translucent on the inside, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Immediately dump the ice into the pot to stop the cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is cool to warm or room temperature, about 1 minute. Pour the contents of the pot into a colander in the sink, then transfer the drained, celery seed-dotted shrimp to a large platter and refrigerate until ready to eat. Cut the lemons into quarters lengthwise, then cut each piece in half crosswise.
• Make the cocktail sauce: In a small bowl, stir the ketchup, lemon juice, horseradish and garlic to combine, and season to taste with salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce.
• Make the garlicky dill butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave. Add the garlic, dill, lemon juice and sugar to a small bowl and stir in the hot melted butter. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Make the curried honey mustard: In a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice, curry powder and cayenne to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. All three sauces can be stored in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. (The dill butter will need to be reheated in the microwave or on the stove over medium-low heat until liquid again.)
• To serve, cover a large platter with cubed or crushed ice, top with the poached and cooled shrimp and scatter the lemon pieces all over. Serve with one or more of the dipping sauces on the side.
