Bloody Mary Shrimp Cocktail

Bloody Mary Shrimp Cocktail
Recipe Tip
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.

Great Appetizer
Yummy! I've served this appetizer several times for different events and it has never failed to be a big hit. The presentation in the martini glass is a real attention getter and a great conversational piece. It brings everyone together and they just can't seem to get enough...plus it's guilt-free for those who are concerned about their waistline and easy to prepare.

delish!
Talk about a hit! I served this to about 10 girlfriends all who said they wouldn't eat healthy on girls night out! I had it portioned out they thought it was great plus vodka was an extra bonus! Can't wait to serve it again. It was really good. A keeper...
