How to Make Shrimp Cocktail

Shrimp Cocktail is a delicious appetizer that is pretty easy to make. The cocktail sauce can be made a few days in advance, and the shrimp can be cooked one day in advance so if you’re making this dish for serving guests, this is a great way of minimizing the work you have to do on the day.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 15 large shrimps
• 1/2 cup Heinz chili sauce
• 1 tbsp lemon or lime juice

1. Combine all ingredients except the shrimp to make the cocktail sauce. Let the sauce chill for two hours to allow flavors to blend.

4. Drain the shrimp and put them in ice water to prevent them from cooking any further.

6. Pour cocktail sauce over the shrimp or serve it on the side for dipping.

7. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
