MM, would you mind giving out the exact proportions of the cocktail sauce you mentioned. I will try them for our office x’mas party potluck. Thanks in advance.

bijin, my favorite handicrafts store is balikbayan handicrafts with several branches across the city. They have nice things, are well priced and surprisingly have fantastic service – attentive staff, good wrapping materials, etc. I have many purchases from them that appear in the photos on this site… The small mother of pearl plates were just PHP150-200 each after their standard discount or just USD3-4. stef, yes, you are right, lemon juice brightens the sauce. And yes again, a remoulade is another great option…

We *love* shrimp cocktail — a fixture at our parties. I do add lemon juice to the cocktail sauce. And *lots* of horseradish. Another awesome dip would be a remoulade — we’re using a lemon remoulade this year for our mini crab cakes.

The freshness of your shrimps really set them apart from the rest of their counterpart on the other side of the globe. Plus, of course your magic touch and attention to details â€“ the timing for doneness. I love your mother of pearl small plates they give a toney appeal with your shrimp.

Yum! This is really a standby…thanks for sharing your recipe. I always enjoy eating this if I see it at other people’s parties but have never made it myself. Now I can! :)

shrimp cocktail…it’s what i imagine dining was like back in the 1950s. Then how about some oysters Rockefeller? Let’s see… the main course would be Steak Diane, and for dessert break out the jello mold and the baked alaska! :-)

I love shrimp cocktail. For most of my life I hated shrimp in any form, but a couple of years ago something changed, and now I love it in SOME recipes, like this one.
