Serves four
FOR THE SAUCE:
1-cup ketchup
½ TBS freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 TBS prepared horseradish
½ tsp. hot sauce (optional – add more if you want spicier)
Salt and Pepper

Mix all the ingredients and set aside. You can refrigerate this sauce for up to three days in a closed container in your fridge. 


FOR THE COCKTAIL:
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
1 bay leaf
a few whole peppercorns
a slice of lemon
Lemon wedges to serve

Bring a pot of water to a boil.  Add a bay leaf, some black peppercorns and a slice of lemon. 

Add the shrimp and cook for about 4 minutes until the shrimp has changed color and is no longer opaque. 

Remove the shrimp from the boiling water and transfer to a bowl with ice water to stop the cooking process.


Place the sauce in a bowl and hang the cooked shrimp from the rim.  Serve with lemon wedges.
