Roasted Shrimp Cocktail



This wonderful recipe comes from Ina Garten and it's the only way I fix shrimp now for shrimp Cocktail.  I don't even need a recipe because I've made it so many times. Here's how I do it:
 
This is great for a crowd!




2 lbs. uncooked shrimp (21-25 per lb. size)
about 1 T. olive oil
freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

On a large foil-lined baking sheet, with sides, place the shrimp, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.  Toss together and then lay the shrimp out flat, without stacking.

Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink.  Let cool and then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cocktail Sauce:

1/2 cup ketchup (about)
1/2 cup chili sauce (about)
3 T. of horseradish sauce (or more to taste...I can never add too much for my hubby!)
a dash ofWorchestershire Sauce
about 1 T. of fresh lemon juice
1-2  dashes of Tabasco sauce
some freshly ground pepper

Mix all ingredients together and chill until serving time.

Happy New Year blessings for health and happiness!!

  10. My dad loves shrimp, but I don't think he's ever had it roasted. We normally boil it. Your recipe sounds easy and looks very good, so I bet he would like to try a new way to enjoy his shrimp. Thanks for sharing your recipe and for stopping by my blog. Happy New Year to you and your family, Kitty!

  12. Hmm, I always just thaw the shrimp out; I'll try your way next. I ended up by surfing on the tutorial for ReciPage and see you were there too. Might be a good thing to add to my blog if I can figure it out. Are you going to try it?
    Happy New Year Kitty.

  14. Hi Kitty, I also use this recipe for shrimp cocktail! After I tried it the first time I wondered why anyone would ever boil the shrimp? It's so much more tender and tasty this way and looks much more appealing too. I use lots of horseradish and tabasco in the sauce and a little less chili sauce than she calls for. Wishing you a very happy new year! Linda
