Sriracha Garlic Shrimp Cocktail

Serves 6

Ingredients:

Cocktail Sauce with Sriracha Chile

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Remove the vein from the shrimp, if necessary. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the shrimp on a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 3 minutes, turn the shrimp over with tongs, and continue roasting until the shrimp are opaque and firm, another 2 to 4 minutes. (You can also sauté the shrimp on top of the stove until they turn pink as an alternate cooking method.) Transfer the shrimp to a shallow dish, cover partially, and refrigerate.
3. When the shrimp are thoroughly chilled (after about 2 hours), serve them with cocktail sauce.
