Ingredients

pound

shrimp

( 15 to 20 count )

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and boil shrimp for 3-5 minutes until they are pink and rise to the top. Drain in colander until cool (20 - 30 minutes). This will finish any cooking but ensure that they remain tender not rubbery.

Now you can peel them and remove the vein by slicing down the outside of the back and running them under cold water, or if you don't care about the vein, just peel them. Place in the refrigerator for several hours (or overnight wrapped in plastic). The vein/intestine doesn't hurt anyone, but some people have a phobia about it.

Place cocktail sauce in a bowl in middle of a platter. Arrange shrimp around bowl of sauce.

Makes: 4 servings.

For the COCKTAIL SAUCE, try your favorite ketchup variety with added horseradish to taste. (usually a few teaspoons per cup of ketchup gives a sufficient kick)

Beef in Costume for Halloween

Presentation was unique and will surprise any guests. Especially when you first cut into the pumpkin and juices start dribbling out and they can see the colorful contents inside. I used a red, green and yellow bell pepper for more color. The sauce had a creamy feel in the mouth and the vegetables and beef had baked tastes. I used 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and added extra fresh ground pepper when serving. Will definitely make it again next time I have company and add some pineapple. I think the addition of sweet overtones of pineapple along with the olives will make this a 5 star recipe.
