Nice dinner for 2, but toss the shrimp in the oil (don't drizzle)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

In addition to serving this as an appetizer at parties, my husband and I cut this recipe in half and have it at least once a... week for a late dinner, along with a nice salad and wine. It is the quickest, most appealing, no brainer dinner ever. I make it slightly differently, though. I use more olive oil and toss the shrimp in the oil with salt and pepper rather than drizzling the oil. This results in much moister shrimp.Read more

former Syracuse, New Yorker says its the BEST EVER
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Hailing from the Syracuse, NY area, as far as I know the only Shrimp Cocktail I've ever eaten has been boiled, even at... clambakes I've gone to! So that's the way I've always made it (my Mother never made it). I tried Ina's "roasted" method, serving the Shrimp warm, and in my 58+years I've NEVER tasted Shrimp Cocktail better. Ina's directions are simply BRILLIANT! My Husband and I both think that I make wonderful cocktail sauce so I barely changed that part of the recipe. But Ina's way of roasting Shrimp is SUPERB!! I've had Shrimp Cocktail many places over the years, mostly on the East Coast, but it's NEVER tasted better! Following Ina's directions the Shrimp are cooked JUST RIGHT - I never would have thought about seasoning them with Salt and Pepper. I've tried it several times now, changing the cooking time based on the time, and again, it's simply superb! Thanks Ina..............Rose (White) Thompson, Bakersfield, CA (via Syracuse, NY)Read more

I am hosting a party and plan to use these recipes and was wondering if anyone could tell me what Ina did with the cucumbers... and salami as I did not see the entire episode. Read more

Never boil again!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have seen this recipe before and ever since I first saw the Contessa roast rather than boil shrimp - I'll never go back -... it was great! CelineRead more

Wonderful shrimp
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'll never go back to boiling shrimp ~ roasting shrimp gives them so much more flavor and no soggy shrimp! I'll be making... them for an easy meal or an appetizer on a regular basis. Last night we had them with a loaf of french bread and a salad and what a great meal! Thank you Ina! Read more
