Bake at 450˚F for 8-10 min or until shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. As soon as they come out of the oven, test a shrimp for doneness then transfer all shrimp to a serving platter. If they stay on the hot baking sheet, they can get overcooked.
8 min - 3
Combine all of the Cocktail Sauce ingredients, adding horseradish and hot sauce to taste. Cover and refrigerate sauce and shrimp for at least an hour or overnight. Serve chilled.
