Resurfacing my dad's shrimp cocktail recipe in honor of Father's Day 😊! He doesn't appear on my blog much because he refuses to be on camera (😂) but he's a huge part of my life and is the best guy ❤️Happy Father's Day everyone!
1️⃣ If shrimp are frozen, defrost them by soaking in a bowl of room temperature water.
2️⃣ Boil a large pot of water and season with salt, bay leaves and sugar; get an ice bath ready in a separate bowl.
3️⃣ Add shrimp and cook until water begins to simmer and shrimp are pink; to test if the shrimp are ready, take one out and run it under cold water and eat it to make sure it's crunchy.
4️⃣ Drain the shrimp and run under cold water; place into the ice bath until cold.
5️⃣ Drain and serve with cocktail sauce made by mixing the ketchup, horseradish, tabasco, worcestershire and lemon juice; taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
