Shrimp cocktail is a classic appetizer that you can serve any time of year. Its fancy enough for a chic dinner party, yet easy enough for a backyard picnic. Shrimp cocktail is also the perfect appetizer to make ahead of time. You can cook the shrimp up to a day in advance and the cocktail sauce up to three days ahead of time. You wont have to worry about any boiling or peeling on the day of your event. This is the easiest and tastiest way to make delicious cocktail shrimp. Start with a homemade broth to cook tons of flavor right into the shrimp and serve it alongside a tangy yet sweet classic cocktail sauce.
