Shrimp cocktail
I may or may not have the yummiest appetizers at my parties, but I do make an effort when going to other people’s homes. I made this marinated shrimp recently, and loved its simple and fresh flavor.
The original recipe was quite good, only requiring a few changes. First, I bought raw in-shell shrimp. I boiled onions and lemon juice in water for a few minutes and then cooked the shrimp in this water. It took a lot of peeling by me & Ro, but it was worth going shell-on. Next, I prepared the marinade per the recipe.
Marinade with fresh herbs from our backyard.
When I tasted the shrimp the next day, I felt it was lacking both in citrus and in salt. So I added 2 tbsp of lime juice and shook sea salt liberally over it. This pretty much made everything perfect. Definitely a recipe worth repeating.
