Shrimp cocktails are a classic and elegant appetizer perfect for any gathering. This recipe combines succulent shrimp with fresh avocado, crisp scallions, and a tangy Greek yogurt dressing, creating a delicious and refreshing starter that’s sure to impress your guests.
- Be sure to properly cook the shrimp by bringing a pot of water to a boil and then reducing it to a simmer before adding the shrimp. Cook them until they are pink and opaque, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Chill the cooked shrimp in an ice bath immediately after cooking to stop the cooking process and maintain their firm texture.
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in a bit of the lemon juice and zest for about 15 minutes before mixing with the other ingredients.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, mix it with a bit of lemon juice before adding it to the cocktail.
- Serve the shrimp cocktail on a bed of lettuce leaves for an attractive presentation and a delightful crunch.
With just a few simple steps, you can create a delightful shrimp cocktail that will tantalize your taste buds. This dish offers a perfect balance of flavor and texture, making it an ideal choice for any occasion. Enjoy the fresh and zesty combination of shrimp, avocado, and lemon, complemented by the crunch of scallions and lettuce.
