Chilled Shrimp Cocktail

Name: Chilled Shrimp Cocktail
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 59 min
Total time: 1 h 9 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 500 g Shrimp (raw, peeled, deveined); 2 pieces Bay Leaf (dried); 120 g Ketchup; 2 tbsp Horseradish (prepared); 2 tbsp Lemon Juice; 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground); 0.25 tsp Salt (fine); 1 whole Lemon (cut into wedges); 10 g Parsley (finely chopped)

Shrimp poached with bay leaves and served cold with a sharp ketchup and horseradish sauce. Start an hour ahead so the shrimp are fully cold.

Buy raw shrimp, not cooked: cooked shrimp poached again turn rubbery. Keep the water at a bare simmer, not a boil, and lift the shrimp out as soon as they are pink and curled into a C; a tight O means they are overcooked. The ice bath stops the cooking and keeps them firm. Prepared horseradish loses heat as it ages, so taste the sauce and add more if it is mild.
