Tips & Techniques

  • Super Shellfish

    Shellfish, such as shrimp and clams, is a good source of vitamin B-12. Our bodies need B-12 to help break down foods to give us plenty of energy.

  • Success

    Don’t marinate the shrimp more than 3 hours; a longer time in the tomato juice will toughen the shrimp.

  • Special Touch

    Place shrimp in an oversized martini glass (about 12 to 14 inches in diameter). Pour cocktail sauce mixture over shrimp, and garnish like a Bloody Mary with a skewer of colossal olives, a small lime wedges and a celery stick.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2  lb (40 to 45) cooked deveined peeled medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
  • 1/2  cup tomato juice
  • 1/4  cup vodka, if desired
  • 1/2  teaspoon red pepper sauce
  • 1/2  teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2  teaspoon celery salt
  • 2  tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1  cup cocktail sauce
  • 1/4  cup finely chopped green olives

Directions

  1. 1Arrange shrimp in single layer in rectangular glass or plastic dish, 11x7x1 1/2 inches.
  2. 2Heat tomato juice, vodka and pepper sauce to boiling in 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in sugar; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in celery salt and parsley; pour over shrimp. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
