Who came here after watching the Q&A video when he said no one watched this? Determined to give this more views.

2 AM Newport Beach laying in bed watching videos and I can’t sleep this video came on and now I’m starving and Wideawake even more all I can think of is shrimp and everything else you said in this video from start to finish is exactly how I think from your cocktail sauce filled with horseradish to the shrimp to saying it would be even better with a guy shaking a martini right next to me this is my dream scenario all the time I want to go to a place like that every single day thanks for the videos can’t wait to see more

Warms my heart to hear "opens your nostrils" and "heavy on the horseradish" Bri. Man after my own heart.

Made this yesterday and it was a big hit! The shrimp was not over cooked or watery.
Thank you for making me look like I knew what I was doing.

[davidbowser]

I do my cocktail sauce the same as you with one exception. Just a shake or two of Worcestershire sauce which seems to add that little somethin’ somethin’ as a background note.

I used to make the cocktail sauce at the restaurant I worked at after college. We used chili sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, and parsley. As good as that was, I want to try Brian's version now. And his poaching method looks to be top notch.

Made this last weekend. Easily the best shrimp cocktail I’ve ever had. Keep grinding.

[extexlax]

I just made it. Crazy good. A game changer. Thanks Brian!

[AlysiasArtStudio]

Fantastic! I just graduated culinary arts school and worked in a higher end restaurant and learned shrimp poaching! OMG! I’m excited to make this at home! Yes they’re great at a restaurant but at home we can take our time not rushing as in a commercial production 👏 Thank you, lots of great tips!!

[hgtydjdjdgh]

Making this tomorrow for my super bowl party. Making the cocktail sauce tonight, doing the shrimp as guests start to arrive

This is the only video that does it correctly.
Boiling it always makes it tough.

[anthonygardner]

Shrimp cocktail is one of my favorite things in the world. I’ll definitely give this recipe a try to take it to the BBoy level! Thanks!

[MRR_Shadowolf]

"Buy good ingredients and not mess it up" LOL Loving your channel Brian!

[bethfraser]

So excited to try this recipe Brian. I've boiled shrimp in the past - but haven't added the depth of flavour. Love your videos - learning lots and look forward to actually making a loaf of bread - maybe - we'll see! Your methods give me hope that I can do it. ! Anyhow, I digress ... Love the shrimp vid - Cheers!!😎

[vbhillu]

Made this for a nice night in with my wife. Big hit. Big shrimp worth the coin. Going on the list of items for when we have friends over.

[Cvestal]

Shame this doesn’t have more views. It is the best shrimp I’ve ever had.

[DirtyHairy]

Chef your over the 1K mark congratulations. 🎉🎈🍾🎊 I think shrimp cocktail was a great video that you posted to secretly celebrate. I’m on to you and your subliminal messages. Seriously though keep the vids coming!!

Brian, the poaching liquid bef the ice is still good to use to cook potatoes and little corn cobettes. Chili sauce I first saw on the old Everyday Food series, Emma used it to make a homemade doctored up basting sauce for chicken pieces.

[ericmuller]

Made this gram for gram for my lady on Valentines Day, and as a wise man once said "GREAT SUCCESS"!

[Sassyglbeauty]

I am so doing this when I next get a chance!
