Shrimp Cocktail

Total time: 15 minutes
      You'll need a bit of extra time if you have to peel and cook the shrimp, 10 minutes to peel and 5 to cook.  The amount of horseradish and optional hot sauce is entirely a matter of taste.

• 2 eggs, hard boiled
• 1/2 cup (4oz, 120ml) ketchup

• dash hot sauce   optional

 Instructions:

• Hard boil eggs. 
• If necessary clean shrimp and cook in an inch of water to which 6 peppercorns and a dash of lemon have been added, for 2 - 3 minutes, just until they turn opaque and start to curl.  If already cleaned and cooked just rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
