How to make a classic shrimp cocktail?

Make the cocktail sauce: mix the mayonnaise with the ketchup, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, the cognac and a few drops of Tabasco. Stir well and season with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. If they are not pre-cooked, cook them for 2 to 3 minutes in lightly salted water until they turn pink. Let cool.
Cut the iceberg lettuce into thin strips. Arrange the lettuce as a bed at the bottom of the cocktail glasses.
Spoon a generous spoonful of cocktail sauce over the lettuce in each glass.
Divide the shrimp among the glasses. Place them loosely on top of the sauce so it looks appealing.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice on the rim, a sprinkle of paprika powder and optionally a small sprig of dill. Serve immediately or keep chilled until your guests sit down.
