Shrimp Cocktail Party! | Home Movies with Alison Roman

Shrimp cocktail is perfect in every way: perfect snack, perfect party food, perfect perfect perfect. Here, the shrimp are poached in a salty, oniony broth and served with a cocktail sauce that’s acidic, spicy, savory, and probably the only time you’ll see me use ketchup. I love it, you’ll love it, everyone loves it. It’s simply not a party unless there's shrimp cocktail!

Here in Japan there is another way to devein shrimp which does not, ruin the back of the shrimp. You use a toothpick to pierce the back of the shrimp, just below where the vein is lying and pull up. The vein will come out. Keep pulling and the whole vein comes out. Do this on the uncooked shrimp.

My parents ate shrimp on every NYE (when I was a kid I’d dip my shrimp in ketchup vs. cocktail sauce!) and it’s a tradition I’ve picked up in my adult life, too (although I use cocktail sauce now — with TONS of horseradish). Happy New Year, Alison!

My mouth is watering. Can't wait to make this. I once attended a party where the shrimp cocktail was served in a vintage cake plate turned upside down. The hollow center of the pedestal held the sauce, and the rimmed flat part held the shrimp. I have been looking for such a cake plate ever since!

I don't cook, yet I listen to these in my headphones while doing traffic duty at a school. I have to stand out here for an hr and these videos really really help time go by fast 👍👍👍

I literally have a tattoo that is practically the same as your shirt! I LOVE cooking with lemons… drinks with lemons… lemon zest, all of the above lol!

Like it or love it, anchovies are the heart of your “brand”. You ought to do a whole series on recipes where they really shine!

[ninecatsmagee]

Well, it sure boosted MY spirits. Shrimp cocktail for New Year's Eve! It says: "Time to pop a cork, kiss your sweetie and have an elegant snack like no other." Seriously, there should be a drawing for lunch with Alison and David.! Happy New Year Home Movies team! You are my sunshine. XXXX

This video is so timely. I just got a bottle of Lea Perrins worchestershire sauce the other day and my tastebuds were in aw trying it the first time. I saw in the ingredients that it had anchovies and thought of a montage of the many times you’ve raved of the power anchovies gives. How full circle to see the video!

It's been a tradition to have shrimp cocktail on NYE in my family for the last 25 years, and I'll be making it your way today. My favorite food by far!

[saltypeeps]

Yes!!! Just came from the new shrimp louie video, and I can't choose!!!

[adrienneterzen]

I learned so much from this episode of Home Movies that now l want to have shrimp cocktail for dinner. Which sometimes l do have but now l feel that you elevate the shrimp cocktail to definitely a higher level. Court bouillon, which l had never heard of. And using worcestershire sauce, which is perfect and lemons, which are essential and all the other suggestions! Delicious! Such flavor! Pure genius!! Thank you thank you thank you, Alison!!! And David.

My mom always boiled the shrimp in a ton of old bay and made the cocktail sauce with ketchup and tons of horseradish.... that's it and it's the best.

A Chinese friend of mine showed me how to de-vein the shrimp with the shell on before cooking. You insert the toothpicks about 5 mm below the bow in the back and gently pull up. There are plenty videos to show the technique. I use the shells (cooked or raw) to make shrimp stock and then Tom Yum Soup

Love you. Hope all of you’re New Years are wonderful.
