Shrimp cocktail is a great addition to any party. This easy-to-make and delicious appetizer has been popular for decades. Shrimp are peeled, leaving only the tails, boiled, and served with sauces. The shrimp should be cold, as this will make their flesh more tender and appetizing. Prepare a spicy ginger dipping sauce for the shrimp and serve beautifully on individual plates with a bowl of sauce or in elegant glasses.
