Shrimp Cocktail is a timeless, elegant Fish appetizer that is surprisingly easy to execute perfectly. The secret lies in poaching the jumbo shrimp gently until they are perfectly pink and tender, then chilling them thoroughly. The highlight is the homemade cocktail sauce, a simple blend of ketchup, lemon juice, and plenty of grated horseradish for a serious, invigorating kick. It’s naturally high-protein and gluten-free, making it the ideal easy starter for a dinner party or special occasion.
