Shrimp Cocktail Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of waterto a boil; reduce to a simmerand cook shrimp untilopaque throughout. Drain andlet cool. Line a lightly toastedhotdog bun with Bibb or Bostonlettuce leaves; place shrimpon lettuce. Mix together ketchup with horseradishand chopped celery totaste; spoon cocktail sauceover shrimp.

Steps:

• Heat the broiler. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Add a large pinch of salt, bay leaf and the shrimp and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Dry very well with paper towels and then chop the shrimp.
• Combine the celery, shallot, tarragon, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a medium bowl, and then stir in the shrimp.
• Combine the butter and garlic together in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave until melted, about 20 seconds. Brush the top and bottoms of the rolls with the garlic butter. Place under the broiler and cook until toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Add about 2 tablespoons of the shrimp mixture to the bottom bun and top with the remaining bun halve. Secure with a bamboo skewer. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Remove and discard the shrimp tails. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons cocktail sauce and 1 tablespoon green onions.
• Toast the 4 buns in the toaster oven or oven, then spread 1/2 teaspoon butter inside the cut sides of each. Stuff with the shrimp mixture. Zest the lemon directly on top. Cut the lemon into small wedges and serve with the shrimp rolls.

Steps:

• Put the water, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, lemon, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer, set a cover on top slightly ajar, and cook for 10 to 30 minutes.
• Drop the shrimp into the liquid and turn off the heat. Cook the shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they curl and turn pink, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes for medium shrimp, 3 minutes for large ones. Drain and cool to room temperature. Peel the shrimp and remove the vein along the curve of the shrimp, if desired. Refrigerate if not serving right away. If refrigerated, bring the shrimp to room temperature 20 minutes before serving.
• To serve put the cocktail sauce in a medium bowl and surround with the shrimp, or loop the shrimp over the edge of an individual cocktail glass and top with the sauce. Garnish with the lemon and serve.
• Optional Tip: To de-vein the shrimp before cooking, hold a shrimp between the thumb and forefinger with the rounded side of the shrimp upward. Place the pointed end of a wooden skewer at the junction of the second and third segments of the shrimp shell, about 1/8-inch down from the top. Gently push the skewer through the shell and then lift up to remove the vein.
• Combine the ketchup, lemon zest and juice, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Add hot sauce, if desired. Mix well, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
