I love Ina Garten’s recipe for roasted shrimp cocktail with Remoulade sauce. Easy. I buy shrimp when it’s on sale at WF and I think it’s worth the effort to seek out good refrigerated horseradish, around here it’s Fred’s.

I keep a root in the fridge and microplane as needed.

Wow, I’ve never done that.
I’ve only seen freshly grated horseradish at House of Prime Rib, one of their 3 horseradish preps.

I like "shrimp Mark’s Way", as in Mark Bittman
The “My Way” (or is it your way🤔) Cookbook has variations.

Since I was a child, I’ve loved shrimp. After Sunday church, sometimes my grandparents, parents and I would go out for lunch at a modest place in Arlington, VA; I’d always order the fried shrimp.
We never had shrimp at home.
Shrimp Cocktail in restaurants is always pricey and often lacking in flavor; that’s why I like to make Ina’s Roasted Shrimp at home, my portions are generous!

Shrimp and most “fancier” seafood were and remain pretty expensive in Germany, so that was a very rare treat when I grew up, and we still mostly buy local fish when in Berlin, which is cheaper. It’s kind of amazing how affordable shrimp are in the US in comparison.
I would never order shrimp cocktail at a restaurant for the same reason as yours, and it’s so easy to make!
One of my favorite shrimp dishes was at the North Shore on O’ahu from Jenny’s famous food truck. They were so good we went back a second time

I visited Maui a few years ago, I kept going back to the “truck” to buy the garlic shrimp plate.

I don’t know the origin of what’s sold in Germany, but of course most of what’s sold in the US is farmed from Asia. Wild shrimp from the Gulf are pricier.
You can get farmed shrimp for cheaper in Germany, too — usually at Asian markets.
