This is a very good use for shrimp especially for the warm months because it is served chilled. The sauce heats it up a bit though. For the Shrimp, I used a 16/20 Count Shrimp. When cooking Cocktail Shrimp it’s important to leave the shells on, both for flavor and to prevent the shrimp from curling up too much. Read more .
