Ina Garten's Roasted Shrimp Cocktail Recipe
Ina's Roasted Shrimp Cocktail Is Easy, Delicious
I'm a huge fan of Ina Garten. I love her fresh takes on basic classics and find that her recipes are incredibly reliable. Recently I made her roasted shrimp cocktail. Has anyone else made this easy appetizer?! It's absolutely perfect.
The roasted shrimp is plump and juicy, and the cocktail sauce — a slightly spicy combination of red chili sauce, ketchup, and horseradish — is so flavorful and delicious, I was licking it off my fingers. This portable dish can be prepared in advance, so if you're looking for a last minute appetizer for an Italian Christmas Eve, Christmas, or even New Year's, I highly recommend this crowd-pleasing favorite. Check out Ina's method after the jump.

2 pounds (12 to 15-count) shrimp
