Shrimp cocktail appetizers always look festive, elegant, and sometimes even pretentious on the table. Yet, they're very simple to prepare. They're boiled shrimp, often served in a glass with a variety of sauces that pair perfectly with seafood. For example, make a delicious cocktail sauce with tomatillos and horseradish, onion, garlic, jalapeño, honey, and herbs. Roast the vegetables in the oven until soft, then blend everything together. The sauce's sweet and sour flavor, with a slight tang, perfectly complements the crispy boiled shrimp.

Preparation:

Step 1

• Cocktail

  Pour 2 liters of cold water into a medium saucepan. Add salt, coriander, pepper, and lemon wedges, squeezing their juice into the pan first, and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer, add the shrimp, and cook for about 4 minutes, or until tender. Drain the shrimp in a colander, transfer them to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 2
• Once the shrimp have cooled, serve them with the sauce.
Step 3

• Physalis and Horseradish Sauce

  Preheat oven to 200°C.
Step 4
• Place the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeño in a baking dish, add oil, toss, and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven until the vegetables are tender but not browned, about 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the vinegar, honey, horseradish, and cilantro and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
