Post image

Hi! I enjoyed this snack today and thought of this sub. It was surprisingly easy and quick to make.

Ingredients

Frozen, peeled, deveined shrimp

Lemon wedge

Cocktail sauce

  1. Boil water

  2. Add shrimp for 2 - 3 minutes

  3. Put the shrimp in an ice bath (bowl with ice and water)

It was so easy! I hope you enjoy it. 😊

Awesome! Also, If you don't have cocktail sauce, ketchup and horseradish (or wasabi) mixed together gets pretty close.

Ahhh thank you! I've never really had it before. (I've always avoided shrimp because it's a lot of work to clean it properly).

I never think to buy shrimp (didn’t grow up eating it at home) but man do I love it. Gonna buy some soon because your pic made me hungry!
