And you could use the shrimp as garnish, add some horse radish and you’d have a shrimp Caesar cocktail!
I usually poach my shrimp for shrimp cocktail, too, and I do the same dry brine, albeit based on the WoL site, not SE.
That said, I thought the flavor on these shrimp was pretty amazing, plus they were ginormous, and I had a lot more than I usually poach, so I wanted to make sure I don’t overcook them.
They are being sliced in half and added to this recipe today:

So, I think the flavor and texture is going to be just right for this particular application!
Yum! I’d be eating the heck outta that! ![]()
I’ve made it before. It’s a great recipe!
I’ll be in CDMX in April, looking forward to trying their version of this.
ssssssSAUCAYYYY!
It’s really good! I used canned chipotle and some of its adobo in place of the hot sauce!
Sounds great! Bookmarked for the next batch of black tiger shrimp ![]()
Adjust the sauce with whichever chiles work best for you!
I’ll have to take a closer look at the recipe. I wonder if my current obsession, that chili kumquat sauce would work… but I have many heat sources in the house ![]()
