Roasted Shrimp Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Dry the shrimp well with paper towels. Place them on a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, toss well, and spread them out in one layer. Roast for 10 minutes, until firm and just cooked through. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, horseradish, Sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the scallions and capers. Arrange the shrimp on a platter with the sauce in the middle for dipping. Offer a separate bowl for the discarded shrimp tails.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on.
• Place them on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread them in 1 layer. (I added a little Garlic salt too).
• Roast for 8 to10 minutes, just until pink and firm and cooked through.
• Set aside to cool.

Steps:

• Blot the shrimp dry and place in a medium bowl along with the garlic, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the olive oil. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• For the sauce: Heat the butter in a large nonreactive skillet. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until coppery brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the ground coriander and the thyme, and stir to combine. Add the pureed tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, the bay leaf and the lemon zest. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice, horseradish, cayenne and sugar, and taste for seasoning. Pour the sauce into a small bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving. (You can make the cocktail sauce up to 3 days ahead and keep refrigerated.)
• For the shrimp: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. When hot, place a heavy sheet pan in the oven to preheat for a couple of minutes.
• Add the marinated shrimp to the hot pan in a single, well-spaced layer. Roast the shrimp until curled into a "C" shape and pearly-white throughout, about 10 minutes.
• To serve: Arrange the lettuce leaves and the shrimp on separate platters, with the cocktail sauce on the side. Have guests assemble their own wraps: one shrimp per lettuce leaf, with a healthy dollop of cocktail sauce on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt and pepper and spread them in one layer. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, just until pink, firm and cooked through. Set aside to cool.
• For the sauce, mix the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Top the shrimp with lemon zest and serve with the sauce.

Steps:

• You can decide to go either the classic route or the oven-roasted route or do both. Either are delicious options!
• For the classic shrimp cocktail: Fill a large pot with 10 cups cold water. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, lemon, parsley, thyme, bay leaves and salt. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 25 minutes. Add the shrimp, turn off the heat, and cook, stirring often, until they turn pink, about 3 minutes for jumbo shrimp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to cool completely. Serve over ice with your choice of sauce (recipes follow).
• For the roasted shrimp: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place the shrimp on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Toss to evenly coat and then arrange in a single layer. Roast until pink and firm, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
• For the classic cocktail sauce: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, chili sauce, lemon zest and juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning accordingly, adding more of any of the ingredients to reach your preferred taste level. Chill until ready to serve. The sauce can be made a few days in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to eat.
• For the remoulade sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayo, hot sauce, parsley, capers, Cajun seasoning, green onion, pepper, lemon zest and juice. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning accordingly, adding more of any of the ingredients to reach your preferred taste level. Chill until ready to serve. The sauce can be made a few days in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to eat.
• For the avocado crema: In a food processor, combine the sour cream, cilantro, peeled and pitted avocado, lime zest, lime juice, salt, milk, garlic and onion powder. Pulse until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and chill until ready to serve. The sauce can be made a few days in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to eat.

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Stir garlic, red onion, and cilantro. Mix in tomato and clam juice cocktail, ketchup, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, and horseradish. Season with salt. Gently stir in avocado. Cover, and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Serve in one large bowl or ladle into individual bowls.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Place the shrimp on a large baking sheet with sides. In a small bowl, combine the shallot, lemon zest and juice, olive oil and seasoning salt, and mix to combine. Pour over the shrimp and move them around to evenly coat. Make sure the shrimp are arranged in one layer.
• Roast the shrimp for about 8 to 9 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque all the way through. Place in another dish and cool. Refrigerate until serving.
• While the shrimp are cooking, prepare the sauce: In a food processor puree the mango. Combine the remaining ingredients together in the food processor and blend until combined. Taste for seasoning. Place in a small serving bowl and serve with shrimp or crab.
• To serve as an appetizer: place the sauce in a small bowl in the center of a 12-inch platter. Arrange the shrimp around the outside of the platter in a pretty pattern. Garnish with the parsley. Make sure to have a small bowl next to the platter to dispose of the tails.
• To serve as a first course: Place a couple of tablespoons of the sauce in the center of a martini glass. Sprinkle the parsley on top of the sauce. Arrange the shrimp on the edge of the glass; figure 4 to 5 shrimp per person. Serve immediately.
• Advance Preparation: The shrimp and sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead, covered and refrigerated.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolk, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup oil until completely incorporated. Whisk in horseradish, hot sauce and ketchup. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until shrimp are just opaque, about 10 minutes. Serve shrimp either hot or at room temperature, in shrimp cocktail glasses if you like, with the aioli for dipping.
