Five minutes fast and literally foolproof! Always an impressive and appreciated appetizer! So easy, my 7 year old culinary students not only made these chilly appetizers but, detailed their own recipes and took their own photos in the same amount of time. 😆

1

Dethaw your shrimp if need be. Add chilled cocktail sauce to your chilled glasses. Slice your lemon and lime. Also, make a slit in the middle of each wedge as so they can hang sturdily on to the glass. Hang 6 jumbo shrimp over the rim of each glass. Place wedges in between shrimp. Garnish cocktail with fresh parsley.

That's it! Enjoy!

Not pictured above but you can also purchase pre-steamed jumbo scallops and pin them to the tops your jumbo shrimp with colorful cocktail spears. Or, spear 3 of them together and gently lay them on top of each cocktail.

Easy, inexpensive and tummy filling! I'll also serve these jumbo seafood appetizers with a thick sliced, store bought artesianal bread and clarified garlic lemon butter. Sharp, salty, chilled or baked cheeses are another great serving option. Each will cut and compliment the richness of your cocktails perfectly!
