How-To Make Roasted Shrimp Cocktail (Video)

If any of you are fans of shrimp cocktail this recipe is going to be your new best friend.

I don’t say that just because it’s delicious but using the technique of roasting the shrimp is a really easy and quick way to make ‘shrimp cocktail’.  SO much easier than the classic technique of boiling with herbs, etc.

This technique was inspired by Ina Garten(aka the Barefoot Contessa).  Her clever, tasty twists on the classics always catch my eye.

I love making these on the weekend and then having them in the fridge to throw on salads during the week.  Shrimp are high in protein so they’re a great choice for all my little gym rats out there.  Plus my kids love them too, so that always adds bonus points in my book.

If you decide to try them I highly recommend peeling and deveining the shrimp yourself.  Not only will this save you a few bucks but the difference in taste (and texture) is remarkable.  I did a side by side taste test to see if doing the work of cleaning my own shrimp was worth my time and was really surprised to see just how much fresher and better the shrimp that I cleaned myself were.

    Hi Dani,

    Thanks for the recipe! I was wondering – do you typically buy your shrimp fresh rather than frozen? And also, do you pay attention to the country of origin, or avoid shrimp from certain countries? I’ve never purchased shrimp before, so I wasn’t sure what factors to pay attention to.
