Shrimp Cocktail [0000969]

Ingredients:

1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1/2 cup gluten-free cocktail sauce
1/4 cup gluten-free ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (make sure it's gluten-free)
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Season the boiling water with salt.

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the boiling water. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.

Drain the cooked shrimp and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a separate bowl, mix together the gluten-free ketchup, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to make the cocktail sauce. Adjust the hot sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.

Arrange the cooked and cooled shrimp on a serving platter.

Serve the shrimp with the cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.

Garnish with fresh parsley leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Provide small cocktail forks or toothpicks for easy serving.

Enjoy your gluten-free shrimp cocktail appetizers as a delightful and refreshing starter!
