SHRIMP COCKTAIL RECIPE | REAL SIMPLE
The thing about people who love shrimp cocktail is that they really. Love. Shrimp. Cocktail. Enough to want to hoard an entire order or fight over the last shrimp. The great news is that you can make an entire batch for yourself at home with an easy poached shrimp recipe and a DIY cocktail sauce. And the best part is, you can tweak the proportions to your liking—more horseradish or less Worcestershire. The world is your oyster! Er, shrimp. Shopping tip: Like with all seafood, please make sure to buy sustainably-fished shrimp. Look for a label on the package or ask at the fish counter.RELATED: 10 Tasty Shrimp Recipes

CLASSIC SHRIMP COCKTAIL RECIPE | MARTHA STEWART
One of Martha's favorite entertaining strategies is to serve a pared-down—but still special feeling—menu. Her classic shrimp cocktail is a perfect example: it's an easy but elegant starter that shines because it calls for the very best ingredients—including a quick homemade cocktail sauce. When preparing this spread, use high-quality, sustainably sourced shrimp, and plan on about three to six shrimp per guest.

Steps:
- Shrimp: Cover a rimmed baking sheet with ice (to later cool down shrimp). In a large stockpot combine 12 cups water, carrot, celery, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and peppercorns. Cut one lemon in half; squeeze half the juice into the water and add the rind. Cut remaining 1 1/2 lemons into small wedges for serving; set aside.
- Bring water to a boil. Add shrimp, cover; remove from heat. Let stand until shrimp are bright pink and curled; 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to prepared tray of ice to cool completely. Once cool, shrimp can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.
- Cocktail Sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients until combined. (Cocktail sauce can be made ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.)
- To Serve: Peel shrimp, leaving tails intact if desired. Using a paring knife, make a shallow cut along backs of shrimp to remove vein. Arrange shrimp neatly on a platter, shingling them slightly to make a pattern, and serve chilled with cocktail sauce and reserved lemon wedges on the side.
