This is a classic! Everyone loves shrimp
cocktail.
an easy simple course to start a Dinner
Party ... put shrimp in a martini glass
for an impressive
presentation
Not only is this luscious and beautiful to behold,
it is low in fat, carbohydrates and calories making
it ideal to serve your dinner guests
Another great feature... this outstanding shrimp cocktail sauce recipe can be prepared ahead
of time, then simply put this delicious
First Course entree together at the last minute for easy entertaining.
I like to serve it after the Amuse
Bouche course and just before the salad, but you can serve it
any time
