"Artichokes...
are just plain annoying...
After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual 'food' out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking thirty or forty postage stamps.
Have the shrimp cocktail instead.
"
-Miss Piggy, Gourmond
The refrigerator light goes on...
This is the perfect summer meal. The shrimp can be steamed in advance, the cocktail sauce and salad dressing made and the corn wrapped for roasting. As soon as the corn is finished everything else is easy to serve up and so good for you.

Prepare a plate on the counter with a couple of handfuls of ice.
Place the water in a medium sauce pan fitted with a steamer basket over high heat. When the water boils place the shrimp in the steamer and cover.
Cook for about 5 - 8 minutes watching carefully. Just as the shrimp begin to be completely pink and lose their translucent color remove them and place on top of the ice.
Allow the shrimp to cool on the ice for a few minutes turning once. Place them in a container and cover. Refrigerate at least an hour.
Serve the shrimp with Cocktail Sauce.
