the perfect shrimp cocktail
the secret to perfectly cooked shrimp, according to our own shrimp master, bernie, is:
- devein jumbo shrimp using a shrimp knife (available at the market), then peel except for the last segment above the tail
- bring water in a large pot to a rolling boil
- put shrimp into the boiling water, stirring often so tails curl up nice and tight
- before the water comes back to a full boil (3-4 minutes, until shrimp is just opaque in the center at the thickest part), remove the shrimp and drain in a colander, then submerge the hot shrimp into a bath of ice water to shock and stop cooking
- chill and arrange on a plate with cocktail sauce, we make our own that’s available to buy, and lemon wedges
