Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lb easy peel raw shrimp (fresh or thawed) (see notes*)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup ((storebought or homemade))
  • 2 tbsp prepared horseradish (or fresh, finely grated)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (such as piri piri, sriracha, or Frank's Red Hot)
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground white pepper
  • pinch ground cloves
  • Chopped parsley
  • Lemon wedges

Instruction

  • Steam the raw shrimp over boiling water until they turn completely pink and opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid and gently toss the shrimp from time to time to help with heat distribution.
  • As soon as they are done cooking, plunge the cooked shrimp in a bath of ice cold water to stop the cooking and chill them quickly, then transfer them to a colander to let them drain for a bit. Peel the shrimp but leave the tails on as much as you can.
  • Make the the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl and mixing them with a whisk until well combined.
  • Arrange the shrimp on a serving plate, set the sauce in the center of the plate and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
  • Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
