    My entire family enjoyed this and my father suggested marketing the sauce!! The only recommendation I have is to cover the shrimp in the refrigerator, ours still has a fishy smell 2 weeks later even after a baking soda bath.

    The shrimp was the best shrimp I had ever had. but we decided that since we had lots of pasta in the house we turn it into shrimp pasta so we used the brine, cooked it like it said, then placed it in pasta and it made a wonderful dinner! You've done it again Alton!

    I'm trying to get more seafood into my diet and checked this recipe out. I have never been able to make such tasty, restaurant quality shrimp before! I won't ever go back!

    The shrimp was perfectly tender and had rich succulent flavor. The dipping sauce was divine. A wonderful tangy yet spicy delight to the palate

    I am having a BBq on Saturday and saw this episode last night. Decide to do a trial run, but didn't want to smoke up the house (not sure my oven could handle 500 degress after my teenage daughter and friends baked last night...what a mess.

    So, I just put the baking sheet on the grill and fired away. They came out fantastic!! I will probably use the grill method again for the BBQ...no need to heat up the kitchen.

    Cocktail sauce was simple and better than any 'fresh' one I ever purchased from a seafood market...thanks Alton!!

    he obviously knows little about shrimp but presents himself as all knowing. it makes me doubt his knowledge on all subjects. if he could grill his ego and find a worthy sauce----not going to happen. i am more disappointed all the time as his show drifts away from reality towards frivolity----should appeal to the 'idol' crowd though.

    We loved this sauce at our house this winter. Even with canned tomatoes it tasted like summer. I do think that I will peel seed and chop my own come harvest time. THX Alton!

    The brine and the broil make this dish awesome. The shrimp was perfectly done. I can't imagine preparing shrimp any other way after cooking this. Thank you Alton and crew!
