Few appetizers are easier or more delightful than Shrimp Cocktail to start off your meal especially during the holidays. Shrimps are light and tasty and they really whet your appetite for the meal ahead. Few can resist these succulent bites dangling at the edge of a cocktail glass.

Shrimp Cocktail – a Quick and Easy Appetizers

It takes only minutes to prepare this appetizer. All there needs to be done is to mix the sauce and boil the shrimps. The hardest part is to keep from eating them while you are in the midst of the preparation. It may be a good idea to throw in an extra shrimp or two for the cook. 😉

The rest is just presentation. I found these lovely cocktail glasses at a second-hand store where there is a little insert for the sauce. Shaved ice can be placed in the outer stemmed glass to keep the shrimps nice and cold. An alternative is to use a wide rimmed cocktail glass. Have fun with it.
