SIMPLE SHRIMP COCKTAIL
I played with different ways of cooking shrimp for a while and different seasonings to spice it up, but this really became the standard; good shrimp, seasoned just to highlight their flavor, and refreshing cocktail sauce to compliment them perfectly. This is a big hit at all of our family gatherings as an appetizer, snack, or even part of the meal. No more over-paying for those tiny, rubbery shrimp cocktail circles at the grocery store, only to dip them in mediocre cocktail sauce. Try this for easy and yummy shrimp cocktail!

Steps:
- Set oven to 400°F.
- Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray, or sparingly brush with vegetable oil, and spread shrimp out in a single layer. Sprinkle on salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly. Make sure to spread shrimp back into a single layer so that they do not overlap during cooking.
- Cook on middle oven rack until shrimp turn pink (2-5 minutes) and then turn shrimp over and repeat. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp or they will end up very rubbery. You can also boil the shrimp for 4 minutes (on a constant rolling boil) but I think that baking them really allows their natural flavors to brighten.
- Remove shrimp from oven and enjoy warm, or allow to cool to room temperature before moving shrimp to the fridge for chilled shrimp cocktail.
- Make the sauce: blend all ingredients in a small bowl or ramican, adjusting ingredients to suite your taste. (At this point, I will sometimes add some chili sauce or Tobasco to give it a kick) If you accidentally add too much spice, just add more ketchup until it's just right.
