SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Make the shrimp: In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp and 2 teaspoons salt, and set aside. Keep the 8 cups ice nearby, either in another large bowl or directly in the icemaker tray of your refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with 8 cups water, 1/2 cup salt, the chile powder and celery seeds, and bring to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add the shrimp to the hot liquid, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through and no longer translucent on the inside, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Immediately dump the ice into the pot to stop the cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is cool to warm or room temperature, about 1 minute. Pour the contents of the pot into a colander in the sink, then transfer the drained, celery seed-dotted shrimp to a large platter and refrigerate until ready to eat. Cut the lemons into quarters lengthwise, then cut each piece in half crosswise.
• Make the cocktail sauce: In a small bowl, stir the ketchup, lemon juice, horseradish and garlic to combine, and season to taste with salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce.
• Make the garlicky dill butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave. Add the garlic, dill, lemon juice and sugar to a small bowl and stir in the hot melted butter. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Make the curried honey mustard: In a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice, curry powder and cayenne to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. All three sauces can be stored in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. (The dill butter will need to be reheated in the microwave or on the stove over medium-low heat until liquid again.)
• To serve, cover a large platter with cubed or crushed ice, top with the poached and cooled shrimp and scatter the lemon pieces all over. Serve with one or more of the dipping sauces on the side.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL WITH HOMEMADE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the shrimp: In a wide, shallow pan, combine the lemon, peppercorns, bay leaves, wine, and salt. Bring the poaching liquid to a gentle simmer over low heat. Add the shrimp and poach them for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they turn pink. Drain the shrimp and let them cool until they're cool enough to handle.
• Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails on.
• Look for the dark "vein" that runs the length of the shrimp's back. In order to remove it without destroying the shrimp, I recommend laying the shrimp on its side and carefully running a sharp paring knife down its back to make a shallow cut. Use the tip of the knife to extract the exposed vein.
• Refrigerate the shrimp until you're about to serve them.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, pepper, lemon juice, and horseradish to make the cocktail sauce. Taste the sauce and season with more horseradish if you want to add extra kick. Refrigerate.
• Serve both the shrimp and cocktail sauce very cold.
