NOTES
- In this whiskey sauce, we use whiskey, brandy, or cognac. If you want a softer flavor you can substitute it with sherry. If you don't want to use alcohol, leave it out.
- You can substitute the cream with sour cream.
- In this Dutch shrimp cocktail, I use (small) cocktail shrimp. But you can use larger shrimp/prawns. Make sure to remove the shell (head and tail) and the gut.
- You can replace the iceberg lettuce with any kind of lettuce you prefer.
- TIP 1: serve this shrimp cocktail in a tomato. Slice the top of a tomato. Hollow it with a spoon. Fill with shrimp and spoon some cocktail sauce on top.
- TIP 2: It's really delicious to add tangerine, orange, or grapefruit slices to this cocktail.
- TIP 3: You can serve this shrimp cocktail with some toasted bread with butter.
