Instructions
- For the Cocktail Sauce, mix ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a small bowl until well blended. Taste and adjust horseradish or hot sauce as desired. Cover. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the Shrimp, fill large bowl with ice and enough cold water to cover. (Leave enough room to add cooked shrimp to bowl later.) Set aside.
- Mix celery salt, paprika, ground mustard, black pepper, cayenne and salt with 4 cups of cold water in a large saucepan, stirring until salt is dissolved. Add shrimp to pot. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently until water temperature reaches 160°F and shrimp are just pink, about 12 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove shrimp from saucepan and place into ice water bath. Let stand to cool completely, about 10 minutes. Drain well and transfer to paper towel lined plate to remove excess moisture. Arrange on serving platter around bowl of Cocktail Sauce. Serve chilled.
