Ingredients
- 30 cooked shrimp. I used plump 16/20 shrimp
bloody mary cocktail sauce
- 12 ounce bottle Heinz chili sauce
- 3-4 Tbsp prepared horseradish, we love the flavor punch from horseradish, so I add extra. Make your own, here!
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce, or more to taste, of course!
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp celery salt
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 ounce vodka, totally optional, just for fun.
garnishes
- celery salt for rimming the glasses
- 6 small inner stalks of celery, with leaves
- springs of parsley
- Lime wedges
cocktail picks
- pimiento stuffed green olives
- small cocktail onions
- cornichon pickles
- marinated hot chili peppers
Instructions
- Whisk together the sauce ingredients and be sure to give it a taste to adjust it to your liking. Chill until cold.
- Put some celery salt on a small plate. Run the cut side of a lemon or lime along the rim of each small bowl or glass to moisten, and then dip into the salt to rim the edges.
- To assemble the shrimp cocktails divide the chilled sauce between the 6 bowls. Arrange the shrimp over the edge of the bowls, allowing 5 shrimp per serving.
- Make cocktail picks by threading toothpicks with olives, onions, cornichon pickles, and small pickled peppers. You can allow one or two per serving.
- Garnish each cocktail with a stalk of celery, a sprig of parsley, a cocktail pick or two, and a lime wedge.
- Serve these shrimp cocktails right away, you want the shrimp to be ice cold.
