Shrimp cocktail is perfect in every way: perfect snack, perfect party food, perfect perfect perfect. Here, the shrimp are poached in a salty, oniony broth and served with a cocktail sauce that’s acidic, spicy, savory, and probably the only time you’ll see me use ketchup. I love it, you’ll love it, everyone loves it. It’s simply not a party unless there's shrimp cocktail!
