Expert Tips

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.

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

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.

I've made this many times for gatherings and it rocks! I usually have spicy V8 on hand or Bloody Mary Mix and use that in place of the tomato juice for extra spice!

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.
