Editors Review
Shrimp Cocktail is a classic American appetizer and a favorite at cocktail parties. Surprisingly, its more complicated to make than you think. Chef John shows us how to perfectly poach the shrimp and make the spicy cocktail sauce. It's really easy once you know how it's done. It's a foolproof party hit!Comments

I am a great fan of seafood cocktail and the one such recipe I still relish is the cocktail served at one of the resorts in maldivesl it was just heavenly. However, I would prefer slightly smaller variety of shrimp for the preparation and does this recipe leave a scope for using mixed seafood?
