A shrimp cocktail is a dish consisting of cooked shrimp presented with a cocktail sauce. The shrimp are usually cold, and the cocktail sauce is a mixture of ketchup or chili sauce and horseradish.
The dish is usually garnished with a lemon or lime wedge, a maraschino cherry, and a pickled green bean or onion. It can also include avocado, celery, and other vegetables.
Shrimp cocktails are often served as an appetizer or first course.
