Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on for presentation)
- 1/2 lb cooked lobster tail, flaked
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp prepared horseradish
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 lemon wedges, for garnish
- Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Place shrimp and flaked lobster in a large bowl. Gently fold in half of the sauce until just combined.
- Chill mixture for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
- To assemble: Pack shrimp mixture into a tall, clear glass goblet or martini glass. Press down gently with a spoon to compact slightly.
- Spread remaining sauce over top in a thick, glistening layer. Sprinkle generously with cracked black pepper.
- Finish with lemon wedges tucked beside the rim or skewered through the edge.
- Serve chilled, with extra sauce on the side and optional ice around the base for foggy effect.
Notes
- For extra theatrical flair, lightly mist shrimp with lemon water and dust with edible gold flakes before chilling.
- Use black-rimmed or vintage glassware to enhance the Gothic Gastronomy vibe.
- Prep ahead: The shrimp mixture can be made up to 12 hours in advance—add the sauce garnish just before serving.
