What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Simple Sensations: Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail! No matter how often my husband and I entertain, this choice reigns as Number One with our guests. It is so easy to prepare and the presentation awards it center stage. In addition, I place the appetizer on a pedestal serving stand for great eye appeal. For such a tiny food which carries an impressive response, it truly is an oxymoron.
JUMBO SHRIMP COCKTAIL
Ingredients:
1 pound Jumbo Shrimp, cooked and deveined with tail on
1/2 heart Romaine lettuce, shredded
1 12-ounce bottle Chili sauce
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Dash of cracked pepper
Instructions:
Mix all the sauce ingredients. Blend well. Cover and refrigerate for one hour so flavors can intensify. Meanwhile, fill a chilled glass serving bowl with shredded hearts of romaine. Be sure to leave room for a smaller dish of cocktail sauce to rest in the center of the serving bowl. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange the shrimp around the rim of the bowl to form an attractive fan. Return bowl to the refrigerator to remain chilled until guests arrive. Serve with wooden picks or olive skewers for dipping shrimp into sauce. The romaine is an excellent accent for nibbling.
Wow, a shrimp sunflower!!
