Carol, You mentioned cold shrimp, as in the cocktail recipe? I have always loved shrimp cocktail until I tried Barefoot Contessas roasted shrimp version. She bakes cleaned shrimp drizzled in extra virgin olive oil, S & P, and bakes it for 8 to 10 min. at 400 degrees, lets it cool to room temperature. Serve with cocktail sauce. It's really great, no more boiled shrimp for me. The taste far surpasses the boiled version!
