Head-On Shrimp Cocktail

Ingredients 

  • 6 cups water

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 6 cloves garlic minced

  • 3 Tbsp Old Bay seasoning

  • 1 lb shrimp fresh, shell and head-on

    Cocktail Sauce

  • 1/2 cup organic ketchup

Insuctions

Instructions

  • Add water, vinegar, garlic, and Old Bay to a large stockpot.

  • Boil over high heat.

  • When the water reaches a rolling boil, add the shrimp and stir.

  • After approximately 3 min the shrimp should be done. When they are done they are completely opaque, have a pink/peach color to them, and the tails are curled up.

  • As soon as they look done, pour them into a strainer to drain off the water.

  • Now you can either serve immediately OR dunk them into an ice bath to stop the cooking and chill if you are serving as a shrimp cocktail appetizer.

  • Mix all cocktail sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until combined. Adjust to taste.
