Shrimp Cocktail 2.0

Cheaper & much tastier than the pre-packaged kind at the store.

Everyone loves shrimp cocktail. It's a fan-favorite not just in St. Louis, but for parties across the country.  Most people buy pre-packaged shrimp cocktail at the grocery store, but let me tell you why making your own is SO much better!

             Pre-made Shrimp Cocktail                   Shrimp Cocktail 2.0

  •                 $15-17 per lb                                    $10 per lb             
  •                 Over-cooked                            Perfectly cooked (fool proof)
