    This is a fabulous method of cooking the shrimp. I will never boil them again. The difference in taste is unbelievable. I serve them with an aioli sauce. They were the first things to go at my Superbowl party. Try them. You won't be disappointed!! Thanks Ina!

    This is one of my favorite recipes! I serve it almost every time I'm entertaining. However, as Ina would say, I turn the volume up a little. I zest the lemon and finely chop the zest to sprinkle over the hot shrimp. Also for some brightness and fresh flavor I finely chop cilantro or flat leaf parsley to sprinkle on the shrimp. I have found that during cocktail parties often people will just graze picking up a chip or shrimp here and there. So because of this I like to remove the tails and instead serve with tooth picks on the side. I think this works better than finding a place to put the shrimp tail.

    This recipe is so simple and fantastic! I have gotten rave reviews whenever I have made this recipe. The cocktail sauce is made from easy-to-find ingredients and the combo of the roasted shrimp is better than any store bought tray I've ever had! I did skip the hot sauce in the cocktail sauce...the sauce has enough zip without it. One of my favorite Food Network recipes!

    Made this twice during the holidays. Served as appetizers for dinner parties with chenin blanc as the perfect compliment. Rave reviews from all guests. Shrimp is wonderful roasted. Will definitely make these again and again. Thank you Ina. You have made dinner parties fun, easy and elegant again.

    I can't believe what a difference roasting the shrimp made - it was terrific. My husband made the cocktail sauce and it was great as well. Love Ina - I learned to roast root vegetables from her - that makes a huge difference vs. boiling!

    I just made this cocktail sauce for the first time. They do not sell cocktail sauce here in Germany and miss it dearly from the states. I thought I would try this one since all the reviews are good and all the ingrediants are easy to get here. It taste GREAT! I will be making this again!

    Absolutely spectacular...moist, tender, and delicious! Ina is a genius at perfectly executing easy entertaining, and I can't imagine anything simpler to do.

    I served mine individually in an old style champagne glass, with the cocktail sauce in the bottom of the wide bowl of the glass, and the six perfect shrimp and a lemon around the side. I was waiting for the FN stylist to show up. Spectacular, as always, Ina.
