I have been making this recipe for years and it is still my ultimate go-to recipe for an appetizer.

This is the BEST EVER way to prepare shrimp! I definitely recommend adding a good sprinkle of Old Bay with the olive oil to coat the shrimp before cooking. Never fails...a true crowd pleaser.

OMG. this recipe was fantastic!! I made these as the appetizer for Valentines Day. My fiance & I devoured the shrimp! The ONLY thing I modified was adding about a tablespoon more of horseradish, it wasnt quite enough for us personally at first. Other than that, PERFECT. I will never ever ever make shrimp differently again! Thanks Alton!

Fantastic! This is my go to item for party food. For New Years Eve party at friends house the main question is "Is Ken bringing the shrimp?'

5 star on shrimp method only. used 10-15 count shrimp, tony's cajun spice for the shrimp, and cooked a minute longer. made my own cocktail sauce with ketchup, tomato sauce, chili powder, a bit o garlic and jalapeno "juice", some wostershire, lime, and lemon. spiked it with fresh horseradish and cayenne. best shrimp cocktail ever. alton da man

After making this recipe, I'll never boil shrimp again. Brined and broiled shrimp have so much more flavor. I skip the cocktail sauce and use them as the perfect garnish to a spicy Bloody Mary.

This is even better than the shrimp cocktails I've had at some high-end restaurants. I've never tried brining shrimp before, but it was worth the effort. The only change I made to the recipe was to add a couple of dashes of hot sauce to the cocktail sauce. If you're a fan of shrimp cocktail, you've got to try this!
