"This is so much better than throwing together cooked and peeled shrimp with cocktail sauce as an appetizer. I have taken this to many adult gatherings and it has been a hit. Very easy to make as well. An oversized martini or margarita glass is the perfect serving dish for this updated shrimp cocktail."

ingredients

680.38 g medium shrimp, cooked, peeled, and deveined
118.29 ml tomato juice
59.14 ml vodka
2.46 ml red pepper sauce
2.46 ml sugar
2.46 ml celery salt
29.58 ml fresh parsley, chopped
236.59 ml seafood cocktail sauce
59.14 ml green olives, finely chopped

directions

Arrange shrimp in a single layer in shallow rectangular glass or plastic dish so the shrimp rest in the marinate. Actually a gallon ziplock bag works fine - but marinate must cool prior to combining.
Heat tomato juice, vodka, and pepper sauce to boiling in 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
Stir in sugar; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
Stir in celery salt and parsley.
Pour marinate over shrimp, cover, refrigerate, but not more than 3 hours as tomato juice will begin to tough shrimp if left longer.
Mix cocktail sauce and olives; pour into small serving bowl. Remove shrimp from marinade with slotted spoon; arrange on serving platter. Serve shrimp with sauce and toothpicks.
Serve with sauce and toothpicks.

This was very easy to make and was good. It made for a fun variation on something traditional. I will definitely serve this at parties. I did make one change though, since I'm on a low carb diet I chose to use a tomato sauce rather than juice to make the marinade into a thicker sauce and dipped the shrimp in it rather than marinate. Lower carb intake that way. I just chopped the olives and added them to the mix rather than mix them w/ regular cocktail sauce. Oh and since I always add olive juice to my bloody mary I threw a splash of that in there too. YUM Made for PAC 2011

I grew up in southwestern Wisconsin. In my early 20's, I moved and lived in Dallas, TX until I went into the military in '89. I then spent the next three years in Germay where I met my wonderful husband. He brought me to South Carolina in '92. I have been here ever since, although I never dreamt I would be a southern girl. My husband and I have one child, a beautiful 10 year-old boy. My heritage is European to include German, Italian, and Norwegian. I totally love German and Italian foods, but don't know much about Norwegian culinary, although I am willing to learn. I love to entertain and have lots of people in my home. There is nothing better than having a good time with family and friends. I pretty much love anything that puts a smile on my face, and work diligently to live a full life - learning and doing a myriad of new things to enrich my life. I love luxurious things that are heaven to the senses.
