Hi Heidi! I’m not sure what the issue is, but if it’s with subscription or payment, you can email support@substack.com. They’re generally very helpful and responsive!
Lol there was a typo on the first round: the show is (if you are not familiar): I MAY DESTROY YOU, not “how I may will destroy you” which was a lol copy and paste error 🙃🥴
Currently watching this show! I’ve loved Michaela since her “Chewing Gum” days — also a fab fab show, albeit much lighter. Serious question: why is shrimp cocktail called...cock...tail? Why are cocktails even cocktails? Why am I repeating this word so much?!
Please tell me more about buying shrimp. I LOVE shrimp, as so many people do, and I worry real, delicious shrimp is basically gone from our sad abused oceans. Where are people buying wild shrimp? Do you buy gulf shrimp? I want all the shrimp deets please.
i am lucky and have a good fish market near me (fish tales on court street in BK), and a good fish market is always my #1 choice to buy seafood no matter where you live- but even whole foods will have occasionally. and yes, gulf shrimp is excellent!
You are on a roll this week, very amusing column. I was told .....40 years ago!!....to put raw shrimp into cold water and bring to an almost boil....and they’re done. So far, so good. Thanks for the giggles.
bathtub recommendation! because i would not be who i am today without baths. little (and by little i mean: very) boujiee, but a good start for bath essentials... goop.com they typically try to find clean beauty products. i usually use teals....however you are inspiring me to look for the better stuff. on the inspiring note, i appreciate your content so much. love following your recipes and cooking style; major inspo. thank you. by the way, i don't have to worry about deveining shrimp?!?!?!
If only my partner wasn't allergic to shrimp, sigh. Shrimp cocktail and a martini sound amazing. Before the pandemic he traveled for work, and if that ever happens again I will have to sneak this in.

Shrimp cocktail has probably been my favorite appetizer/meal since I was wee-old! And don't get me started about dating during this f'ing pandemic….

No horseradish?? Also, thank you for telling me deveined shrimp become curly! Was wondering why that happened the last time I made shrimp cocktail.
I like it sometimes! Just feel like this version is a little sassier
I will be trying for sure!
OK this this exactly what I came here to say... "did you forget the horseradish, Alison?"
I still love horseradish! I love it fresh and in a jar and in a cocktail sauce and also shaved over a salad. HORSERADISH FOREVER!
Thank you for the recommendation, Harissa options are purchased on their way to me in California! Any options OTHER than Amazon for the yuzu kosho??
asian-veggies.com has a wonderful selection.
Trader Joe’s has a yuzu kosho hot sauce!
I tried but couldn’t find that particular brand (I buy it at Sunrise market in NY)
I'm disappointed that you are eating out like this right now
I've always eaten outside, weather permitting, conditions permitting!

LMAO!!!! you are the best!
My favorite newsletter to date. I had a smirk on my face from beginning to end. You have just got it!!! Thanks, Alison.
The indignity of sharing food with a stranger too soon...spot on, Alison! Couldn't agree more. LOL
Sorry, this is not specific to shrimp cocktail at all, but do you have any general wine recommendations? Would love to hear about your faves! Thanks!
