Cocktails are mixed drinks usually served cold, often mixed with ice or blended with ice. Shrimp Cocktail is a delicious and healthy seafood appetizer recipe that is simple to make. Shrimp cocktail is a delicacy more popular in the United States of America than anywhere else. This can be attributed to the fact that this dish is widely served at formal parties, special occasions and at banquets.
The first reference to "shrimp cocktails" in the United States appeared in the New York Times in 1883. The recipe was simple: shrimps (the word prawns was not used until much later), salt, pepper, vinegar and water. The term "cocktail" was first applied to foods of this kind in the 1870s when it began to be used to mean any stimulating concoction, whether of drink or food.
