Indulge in a flavorful shrimp platter with zesty cocktail sauce - a delightful seafood treat!
Ingredients:
  • 2 lb (26 to 30 count) cooked peeled deveined large shrimp with tails, thawed if frozen
  • 1 cup purchased cocktail sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle or regular chile powder
  • Watercress or fresh parsley sprigs
  • Lemon slices
Instructions:
  • First, wash the shrimp and gently dry them. Next, line a 4-cup bowl with plastic wrap, leaving enough to hang over the edges. Place the shrimp in a spiral pattern at the bottom of the bowl, layering them until the bowl is full, pressing down to pack them in.
  • Cover the shrimp with plastic wrap and place two 1-pound cans on top. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • In a small bowl, mix together cocktail sauce, lime juice, and chile powder until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Remove plastic wrap from the bowl. Invert a large platter over the bowl, then flip both over to unmold the dish. Remove plastic wrap. Top the shrimp spiral with watercress and lemon slices. Serve with sauce.
