Steamed shrimp
1 lb shell on medium to small shrimp
1 T seafood seasoning (I used Old Bay)
Toss the shrimp with the seasoning (optional - you can just steam them plain) and set aside. Bring an inch or so of water to boil, then drop a steamer basket in, then toss in the shrimp. Cover and steam 3-5 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and slightly curled. Remove and set in a bowl over a bowl of ice, or stick in the fridge til you're ready to use.

1/2 c ketchup
2-4 T horseradish
a squeeze of lemon or lime juice
Mix everything together. Let sit for a little while for the flavors to mix, or use right away.
Oh yeah, love love love horseradish! Have you ever tried beet horseradish? It is my idea of a quintessential Passover side/accompaniment! I actually love it mixed with creme fraiche, chopped scallions and maybe some dill as a dip for vegies! I could eat freshly grated horseradish on anything!
ReplyDeleteYou mean that isn't real cocktail sauce? That's the way I've been making it for years, it's the way my honey taught me.
ReplyDeleteI know I've said it before but we love shrimp, too. Yup, we're shrimp lovers from waaaaay back!
