cocktail shrimp
Chilled seafood appetizer
Cocktail shrimp are small to medium shrimp served chilled, typically peeled and deveined, as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvre.
They're usually arranged around the rim of a glass or bowl filled with cocktail sauce—a tangy blend of ketchup and horseradish.
The name comes from the serving style, not any alcoholic ingredient: The cocktail shrimp were gone before dinner started.
