Shrimp cocktail is one of those when it’s good it’s freaking great, and when it’s not, it’s an abomination, kind of foods. As simple as it seems when you’re housing them from an ice-filled dish at a party, a lot goes into constructing the perfectly poached shrimp cocktail. Well, Molly is here to show you how to make BA’s classic shrimp cocktail!

NOOOOO!!!! IT WAS GOING SO GOOD UNTIL SHE STARTED TOUCHING HER HAIR!! 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢
Thanks Molly, made it look really easy, snd was easier than I thought!
I really enjoy watching Molly cook! She's so easy going and entertaining. Her recipes seem easy but so delicious!
I’m I love with you Molly, I can’t hide it anymore.
They’re in Midtown, I wonder how fresh the shrimp is?
Adorable young lady 👍🏾
Martha Stewart and Ina Garden have nailed this wonderful treat a long time ago. Sugar in the cooking liquid? Why?
Lol who else making there own chilli sauce also
The poaching liquid and cocktail sauce recipes are marginal at best. There are MUCH better recipes on the net.
Outstanding
Delightful twit ! if you want to cool the cooked
shrimp without loss of flavor, fish them out and use a cup of ice!. It MAY help global warming!
Welcome to Tim Cooks Apple where nothing works!
I have used this technique numerous times and I think it yields the most tender, flavorful shrimp I've ever had…..and nothing beats homemade cocktail sauce….but here's a secret….add 1/8 tsp of ground cinnamon to your cocktail sauce…the cinnamon deepens the flavor similar as to how a tsp of cinnamon deepens the spices in a pot of chili (if you've never added cinnamon to chili…try it and thank me later), but seriously, it takes it to a whole new level. Your sauce tastes richer, and nobody knows it is cinnamon, you can't taste it at all.
Molly, you are the most stunning Chef I have ever seen in my life. You are the Kitchen's Angel. Bon Appetit. 👼
The BA cooks are so cool. I want to be them lol
a really sweet recipe video..
I bought frozen shrimp for shrimp cocktail bc ive been craving it and then i tried cooking some raw shrimp i had and the texture was so off I am going go try this hehe
I like Molly. But I don't give one F about shrimp cocktail.
when she asked for help on peeling, all the guys were like, "whatever, Molly!" so the gracious ladies stepped up, as usual, and got the job done!
The guy's face when she asked who wanted to peel the shrimp killed me 🤣🤣🤣
This is almost exactly the way I make shrimp cocktail. I say only because after the 3 1/2 minutes in the poaching liquid I drain the shrimp and put them in a colander and cover them with ice. This way they can't possibly absorb water. Probably not necessary but I'm an old dog. The cocktail sauce is exactly the way I make mine and it is delicious! Great video though.
The shrimp cocktail was invented in Mexico City this version is an absolute different thing with different ingredients a shrimp cocktail is a soup of juices in which the shrimp sits and cooks in not this east coast trash.
The selfie loooool
Someone has clearly never experienced a St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail!
i would get diarrhea eating this.
i hope that's not iced tap water
3 and half minutes didn’t cook the shrimp all the way ugh!!
Well done!
you're not a comdedy team – just make the shrimp
Good job Molly!
I’ve used this method and it’s terrific. Highly recommended.
Um, you could manually input the timer into the phone.
Great and easy recipe, thank you! However,your "helpful" team sucks.
Can I use lime as a substitute?
I like mine sans panties
Sorry Molly. You start the shrimp in cold water then bring up to temp until cooked. So much more tender and juicy than dropping them in boiling water. for the protein to seize up. Try it.
