"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Cocktail Sauce
1 lb. extra-large (16-20) shrimp

Directions:
Directions:
Have a bowl of ice water ready for the shrimp.
Bring the court bouillon to a full boil. Add the shrimp, stir, and bring back to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the shrimp steep for 8 to 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Pull one of the shrimp out at 8 minutes to check.
Drain the shrimp in a strainer and run some cold water over them to cool them down enough for you to handle them. Pick the shrimp out from the vegetables; the shrimp go into the ice water and the vegetables go into the trash. Let the shrimp chill thoroughly.
Divide the cocktail sauce among four cocktail glasses.
Shell the shrimp and hang them from the rims of the glasses. Serve as soon as possible.
