Shrimp Cocktail with Spicy Bloody Mary Sauce
Rori Trovato
Makes 2 servings
This vodka-heavy Bloody Mary shrimp cocktail bites back. You can nibble on the shrimp, then sip the spicy sauce.
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
1 1/2 cups cocktail sauce
1/2 cup vodka
2 cups white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
4 to 6 jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined (tail left on)
Combine horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, celery seeds, red pepper flakes, cocktail sauce and vodka. Mix well and chill.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat wine, lemon juice and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Poach shrimp just until pink and curled, about 3 to 4 minutes. Place on ice and refrigerate. When completely chilled, season lightly with salt and serve with sauce.
