Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced into wedges
- 1.5 cups Tomato juice
- 2 tbsp Vodka (optional)
- 2 tsp Prepared horseradish
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
- 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 tsp Celery salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 whole Celery stalks, cut into thin sticks
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
In a large pot, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil. Add Old Bay seasoning and a few lemon wedges to the water for flavor.
Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Once cooled, pat the shrimp dry and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato juice, vodka (if using), horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lime juice, celery salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the Bloody Mary cocktail sauce.
Add cherry tomatoes and celery sticks to the cocktail sauce, stirring gently to coat them in the mixture.
Place ice cubes in the bottom of a serving platter or cocktail glasses. Arrange the cooked shrimp around the edge, tails up, and spoon the Bloody Mary sauce with the cherry tomatoes and celery into the center.
Garnish with fresh parsley and additional lemon wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful twist on shrimp cocktail!
