The dish’s origins are unknown, but most people believe it was invented by a 19th-century miner from California who served oysters in a glass with a sauce, but the Golden Gate Hotel in Las Vegas was the first to offer a 50-cent shrimp cocktail in 1959.

It was served with cocktail sauce in a tulip glass. Cocktail sauce is typically made with ketchup and horseradish or ketchup and mayonnaise. From the 1960s to the 1980s, this iconic dish was especially popular.
