- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce
- A few drops of Tabasco sauce (optional, for extra spiciness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce leaves for serving
- 2 Lemons (quarters for garnish)

Instructions
Prepare the shrimp
- If the shrimp are raw, cook them in salted water for a few minutes (2-3 min.) until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
- If using pre-cooked shrimp, simply peel them, leaving the tails intact.
Make the cocktail sauce
- In a bowl, mix together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and horseradish sauce. Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce to your liking for extra heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the peeled shrimp in a bowl and gently toss them with the prepared cocktail sauce. Ensure all the shrimp are evenly coated with the sauce. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Place lettuce leaves at the bottom of a plate or serving dish. Then, arrange the marinated shrimp on top of the lettuce.
- Decorate the dish with lemon quarters, lime wedges, and sprinkle chopped fresh chives over the shrimp.
- Serve the cocktail shrimp on an elegant platter, ready to be enjoyed. You can also place lemon and lime wedges alongside the dish for additional decoration and use by guests.
