Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Key lime juice
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 8 cups water (for boiling shrimp)
- 2 cups ice cubes (for ice bath)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 8 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with 2 cups of ice cubes and water. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked shrimp to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
While the shrimp are cooling, prepare the Key lime cocktail sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the Key lime juice, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Once the shrimp have cooled, drain them from the ice bath and pat them dry with paper towels.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter. Serve with the Key lime cocktail sauce on the side, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Enjoy as a light, flavorful, and Weight-Watchers-friendly appetizer or snack!
