Cocktail shrimp is a classic appetizer featuring chilled, cooked shrimp often served with a tangy cocktail sauce made from ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, and spices. Originating as a popular dish in American cuisine, it is now enjoyed globally due to its simplicity and fresh flavor. Shrimp are a lean source of protein, low in calories, and rich in nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus. They also provide heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. However, they can be high in cholesterol and sodium, especially when paired with salty sauces, so moderate portions are recommended for those managing these health concerns. Easy to prepare and versatile, cocktail shrimp is a light option that fits various dietary preferences, making it a favorite for parties and healthy snacking.
