Description
A refreshing shrimp cocktail with a zesty dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. frozen cooked shrimp, thawed overnight in the fridge (I used 31–40 count shrimp from Costco.)
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 T G. Hughes Sugar-Free Ketchup
- 1 T fresh squeezed lime juice (I used my fresh-frozen lime juice)
- 1 T Sriracha Sauce (more or less to taste)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
Instructions
- Thaw the shrimp in the refrigerator overnight.
- Just before you want to serve them, put shrimp into a colander and let them drain well.
- Finely chop the green onion.
- In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the mayo and ketchup.
- Stir in the lime juice, Sriracha Sauce to taste, and finely chopped green onions to make the sauce.
- If you’re not that familiar with Sriracha, I’d start with a couple of teaspoons and taste it before you add the full tablespoon. This will get a little hotter if it sits in the fridge, so keep that in mind.
- If the shrimp are not as dry as you’d like them, put them between a double layer of paper towels and press down with the towel to absorb the extra moisture.
- Serve the shrimp while they are still cold.
- You can serve a platter of shrimp with the sauce on the side, or make individual shrimp cocktails.
- Remember to provide some kind of dish to put the piece of shell from the tail.
Notes
- Adjust Sriracha to your preferred heat level.
- This shrimp cocktail is best served chilled.
