Every now and then my little brother shows me what’s what in the kitchen. Usually, his specialty surrounds cocktails and pasta. Last week my brother laid it down when he sent me this recipe.
Shrimp Cocktail
These are perfect for any special occasion or gathering you have been invited to. They are tender, fresh, and completely addicting! I use a large white pasta bowl filled with ice, place the cocktail sauce in the middle, laying the prawns on top of the ice, and add about a dozen slices of lemon, squeezing the lemon over the shrimp before dipping it into the cocktail sauce. Enjoy My Dears!
