Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced into wedges
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Cocktail sauce
- 0.25 teaspoons Celery salt (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water and stir until dissolved.
Gently add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the boiling water. Allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the water using a slotted spoon and transfer them to an ice bath (a bowl filled with cold water and ice cubes) to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
While the shrimp cool, prepare 10 small shot glasses (or any similar-sized serving vessel) by filling each halfway with cocktail sauce.
Remove the shrimp from the ice bath and pat dry with a paper towel.
Place one shrimp on the rim of each shot glass, with the tail sticking outward for easy grabbing.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of celery salt over the cocktail sauce in each glass.
Garnish with a small sprig of parsley or cilantro for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
