The art of making shrimp in cocktail sauce
The most important for this dish is to have cooked shrimp available, I prefer to cook fresh shrimp myself. But frozen, raw shrimp works fine too. Peel the raw shrimp before cooking, the peels can be frozen and used for making shrimp bisque later. Also dice the onion and parsley, it is essential to slice it fine enough.
