The classic red sauce served with shrimp cocktail is replaced here with a happy mixture of mayo, sour cream, horseradish and tarragon. Super easy to make, this white sauce can be prepared up to five days in advance, which leaves you plenty of time to take care of other things for your Christmas Eve feast. As for the shrimp, they’ll remain nicely tender once poached in water, a proven method to ensure perfect cooking. This makes us wonder why we never thought of this combo before!

Note from Ricardo

Depending on where you buy the shrimp, you can also select sizes 16-25, 20-40 or 21-25. Certain packages contain shrimp with no tails, which you can also use for this recipe.

For food safety, you can serve one-third of the shrimp at a time while you keep the remaining shrimp refrigerated.
