It's time for Saturday Blog Showcase again, and I'm actually well enough to make something!! Yay! Join Ann (Thibeault's Table) and me in showcasing recipes from blogs we've been fortunate enough to discover!
This week I happened upon a blog called Peanut Butter & Jargon. Great writing and beautiful photos, she and I share a penchant for Ina Garten recipes. After I read her review of Ina's Roasted Shrimp Cocktail, I couldn't wait to try it. It was an easy enough recipe to make after work, and a delicious treat for a Friday night. Roasting the shrimp left them succulent and much more flavorful than the standard boiling method. And the sauce was a simple stir of a few readily available ingredients. I'll never go back to my old shrimp cocktail again!
Roasted Shrimp Cocktail
(Recipe by Ina Garten)For the shrimp:- 2 pounds (12 to 15-count) shrimp*
- 1 tablespoon good olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (I use more like 3/4 tsp; we love pepper!)
- 1/2 cup chili sauce (recommended: Heinz)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place them on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread them in 1 layer. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, just until pink and firm and cooked through. Set aside to cool. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
For the sauce, combine the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Serve as a dip with the shrimp.

Lori, glad you are feeling better and cooking again. I've missed your daily posts.
Those shrimp look so good. I can't wait until the local spot prawns are in season. I've definitely going to try this recipe.
Thanks for hosting this week's showcase. Love the shrimp cocktail! Off to see what else is cookin' from other bloggers!
Glad you feeling better and those shrimp look so tasty. Lovely pics. I also, don't like to boil shrimp. There is so much more flavor in them with just a little browning.
Thanks Lori.
This is one of our fave dishes:)

These shrimp look & sound too good to be true! Could they really be that easy?? I'll be sure to try them very, very soon.
Sorry I didn't join the SBS this weekend. I did post a family bread recipe, though from my own files.
Thanks for hosting this week. I'm off to check out the others.
Forgot to say I'm glad you're feeling better. I was getting a little worried about you when you were so quiet for such a long while.
Glad you're feeling better. :-)
This looks wonderful. I love shrimp but I don't think I've ever had them this way before. Sounds amazing.
Lori,
I'm glad you're well enough to blog. That must have been a very nasty bug.
I don't boil my shrimp anymore either. I love them broiled or grilled - so much more flavor.
