Saucy Shrimp Cocktail

SERVES: 3-6

Minimal ingredients. Maximum taste! Shrimp cocktail is always a favorite. Plump, snappy shrimp smelling and tasting of the sea dipped into a sumptuous sauce with a bit of a kick! The Ajvar is a fire roasted red pepper sauce with serious depth of flavor – a wonderful base to this Mediterranean twist on a classic shrimp cocktail sauce. This dish is a marvelous start to a great meal, but can also be the meal itself.

INGREDIENTS

- Colossal Shrimp – 16-20 per pound (Raw IQF – individually quick frozen – head off, shell on are our preferred type of shrimp but choose what makes sense for you. Check the ingredients on the bag – the only ingredient should be shrimp.)
- 1 jar Wildfare Ajvar
- 3 T. Wildfare Hot Sauce (Shatta)
- 2 T. prepared horseradish
- Lemon wedges
- Chopped parsley

PREPARATION

1	If the shrimp is frozen, thaw as many as you need following the thawing directions on the bag.
2	Boil the shrimp just until the shells turn pink, taking care not to overcook the shrimp. This happens quickly – and no one likes rubbery shrimp.
3	Drain the shrimp, let cool and remove the shells. Devein if you need to. Leave just the tails on for a pretty presentation and to provide practical handles.
4	As you let the shrimp cool to room temperature or if you prefer, let chill in the refrigerator, prepare the sauce.
5	Combine the Ajvar, Hot Sauce (Shatta), and horseradish. Taste and adjust to your liking.
6	Plate the shrimp and sauce in individual servings or on a family style platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley. Permission to eat with your hands granted!
