Bake for 8-10 minutes until shrimp is lightly pink.
Meanwhile, strain cocktail sauce to remove as much solid as possible and thin with 50/50 water and vinegar until consistency allows pipette to suck up liquid. If tastes too watery, add a dash of worcestershire sauce.
Use pipettes to suck up cocktail sauce until all pipettes are full.

Allow shrimp to cool till you can handle it without getting burned.
!Tip: I found it easier to fill all the pipettes, but to immediately insert pipette after drilling hole - the hole is hard to find if you try to do this assembly line style.
Poke a hole in the edge of shrimp with a toothpick
