Shrimp Cocktail is a seafood starter of Shrimp, Tomato and Wild Horseradish. The Queen of Sauce teaches it on the very last Sunday of the second Winter. The ingredients are cheap, yet the dish restores a large amount of energy. It also gives both a Fishing and a Luck buff that last a long time. That pairing suits a long day at the water, chasing fish and treasure chests. Almost every villager likes it as a gift.


Recipe


The Queen of Sauce teaches Shrimp Cocktail on the last Sunday of the second Winter. A missed episode can return as a rerun on a later Wednesday.

Cooking a Tomato with a Shrimp and a Wild Horseradish makes Shrimp Cocktail.

Each ingredient comes from a different place. The Shrimp is caught in a Crab Pot placed in salt water, such as the ocean at the Beach. More pots mean more chances at a Shrimp.

Wild Horseradish is Spring forage, found on the ground across the valley in Spring. Spring Seeds can also grow it on the farm.

The Tomato is a Summer crop. Pierre's General Store sells the seeds in Summer, and each plant keeps giving Tomatoes every few days once it ripens.

Horseradish belongs to Spring and Tomatoes to Summer. Saving a stack of Wild Horseradish from Spring lets the cocktail be made all Summer, once the Tomatoes arrive.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects


Shrimp Cocktail restores a large amount of energy and health. It also raises Fishing and Luck by one level each. Both buffs last around ten minutes of real time, which is long for a food buff.

The Fishing buff makes the fishing bar a little taller, which helps on tricky fish. The Luck buff raises the chance of treasure chests appearing while fishing. Seafoam Pudding gives a much bigger Fishing buff, but it lasts only about a third as long.

Luck also helps away from the water. It raises the chance of ladders while breaking rocks in the Mines and the chance of finding geodes.

Only one food buff can be active at a time, so eating another buffed dish replaces both bonuses.

Prices


Shrimp Cocktail sells for slightly less than its three ingredients are worth raw. Cooking it to sell is a small loss. Its value lies in the buffs and the large energy boost, both of which are worth far more than the few coins lost.

Gifts


Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Gus, Haley, Harvey, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent and the Wizard like Shrimp Cocktail.

Krobus, Leo and Willy dislike it.

That wide approval makes it a safe gift for almost anyone.

Notes


Shrimp Cocktail also turns up in Golden Fishing Treasure Chests. A Mystery Box can hold one too.

In tailoring, Shrimp Cocktail in the Sewing Machine makes the Shrimp Enthusiast Shirt. It also fills the red dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.
