Easy Make-Ahead Shrimp Cocktail

Published:  11/12/2019

This is such an easy recipe and it really frees up your time so you can enjoy your guests since it can be made ahead of time.

You can either poach your own shrimp or do what I do and buy them precooked.

There are two ways you can present this. Either on a pretty platter as I have pictured here or in shot glasses. 

Simply arrange the shrimp on a pretty platter with some sauce in a small bowl and garnish with lemon circles, wedges, dill or fresh parsley. Or portion out some commercial bottled cocktail sauce into pretty glass shot glasses or these disposable ones, add a shrimp with the tail hanging over the edge and a lemon wedge on the rim and/or a pretty snip of fresh dill.  

Keep refrigerated and serve immediately.

  • 11-15 size jumbo pre-cooked shrimp, thawed rinsed and dried very well.
  • 2 Tbsp. cocktail sauce per shot glass
