Shrimp CocktailPT40Mhttps://img1.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/0827/fa/e/653234/300x200x90.jpg However old-fashioned it may seem, shrimp cocktail is a classic. We've updated this party standby with a zesty homemade sauce that packs a flavorful punch thanks to acidic ketchup, spicy chili sauce, and salty Worcestershire sauce. The small amount of celery salt ties it all together into a perfect condiment.
The shrimp is seasoned twice here: once in the shrimp boil and a second time when it hits the sauce right before you bite into it. One taste and you'll know: this old-timer isn't going away anytime soon.8 servings
