Directions
Basic Boiled Shrimp, This is a good basic recipe to prepare shrimp for cocktail sauce , Wonderful, our guests commented that they had never had boiled shrimp come out so moist before, and all enjoyed the mild flavor imparted to the shrimp, as a few did without cocktail sauce altogether Note: I found inexpensive cumin seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds and whole cloves at our nearby Indian market As a hostess gift, I put the spice mixture for 1 batch in an empty spice jar, and tape the cooking instructions to the outside of the bottle (I also give a printout of the full recipe) , Excellent and easy I substituted allspice berries for fennel seed, because I was out of fennel, and boiled the shrimp in their shells (more flavor that way) This is a good way to work a well-stocked spice rack!
