Serving Shrimp Cocktail If you're doing individual appetizers, then small bowls, wine glasses, or martini glasses are best. Put about 1/4 cup of cocktail sauce into the bowl or glass and then hang 5-6 shrimp around the glass.
The best way to keep shrimp cold at a party is to serve it over a bed of crushed ice. This should keep the shrimp chilled for a good 3-4 hours.
Place a thawed Naturally Simple Cooked Pacific White Shrimp Ring with Cocktail Sauce on a very large platter or serving tray. Arrange 312 g pkg Compliments Spring Salad Mix around the ring to create a wreath. Garnish wreath with Compliments Grape Tomatoes and fresh basil leaves to resemble holly.
Fill a glass bowl or trifle dish about halfway full of ice. Place a small glass bowl in the center for the cocktail sauce and then place sliced lemons on the sides of the larger bowl. What is this? Top off the bowl with more ice and add the shrimp around the top and resting on the sides.
For a really great shrimp cocktail, you want to go with large shrimp. I use a 21-25 count, which means there are 21-25 shrimp per pound. Buy them deveined but uncooked. Easy-peel or already peeled is fine.
