Peel And Eat Shrimp With Spicy Cocktail Sauce Food

PEEL-AND-EAT PEPPER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• For the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, yogurt, capers, agave, lemon zest, cayenne and salt. Set aside to let the flavors marry.
• For the shrimp: In a medium bowl, mix together the shrimp, olive oil, black pepper, pink pepper and salt. Toss well to coat. Spread the rosemary sprigs on a rimmed baking sheet and pour the shrimp on top. Bake until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout, 8 minutes.
• Serve the shrimp alongside the dipping sauce, with lemon wedges and a separate bowl for the shells.

PEEL AND EAT SHRIMP WITH SPICY COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix ingredients for your brine, be sure that all the salt and sugar are completely dissolved before adding shrimp or other spices (very important!) Place shrimp into a bowl with brine, add whatever extra you choose, and refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Don't go any longer or they will start to become a bit too salty.
• While shrimp are brining, place tomatoes, chili sauce, horseradish, sugar, pepper, and salt in food processor and blend until smooth.
• Refrigerate cocktail sauce until ready to serve.
• Place a baking sheet covered with foil on broiler pan under oven broiler and preheat for 5 minutes.
• (My boiler is small and awkward. When making larger batches of this, I've put the shrimp onto the top shelf of my oven on its highest setting).
• Remove shrimp from brine and drain thoroughly.
• Rinse the shrimp under cold water to remove the brine and dry on paper towels- important step, do not skip it!
• In a large bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, (I use a mister to coat them evenly) and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, if desired.
• Place shrimp onto the heated sheet pan and return to broiler immediately.
• After 2 minutes, check your shrimp.
• They should be truning slightly pink and the meat should be separating from where they were deveined.
• Turn the shrimp with a pair of tongs.
• Return the shrimp to broiler for 1 minute.
• Transfer shrimp to a cool bowl or cookie sheet and refrigerate immediately.
• Once shrimp have chilled, serve with cocktail sauce.
• These shrimp are great served warm right from the oven too.
• I usually can't wait until they chill before I eat them!

PEEL-AND-EAT BOILED SHRIMP WITH COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the Old Bay, butter, beer, and water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp, turn the heat down to medium, and cover the pot with a lid. Cook, stirring once, for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the broth and transfer to a serving platter. Serve hot or cold with cocktail sauce.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
• Note: Prepared horseradish can be found in the refrigerator aisle at your supermarket.
