Total Time: 3 hrs Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, cooked, peeled, and deveined
• 1/2 cup tomato juice
• 1/4 cup vodka
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup seafood cocktail sauce
• 1/4 cup green olives, finely chopped

Recipe

• 1 arrange shrimp in a single layer in shallow rectangular glass or plastic dish so the shrimp rest in the marinate. actually a gallon ziplock bag works fine - but marinate must cool prior to combining.
• 2 heat tomato juice, vodka, and pepper sauce to boiling in 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
• 3 stir in sugar; reduce heat. simmer uncovered 5 minutes. stirring occasionally.
• 4 stir in celery salt and parsley.
• 5 pour marinate over shrimp, cover, refrigerate, but not more than 3 hours as tomato juice will begin to tough shrimp if left longer.
• 6 mix cocktail sauce and olives; pour into small serving bowl. remove shrimp from marinade with slotted spoon; arrange on serving platter. serve shrimp with sauce and toothpicks.
• 7 serve with sauce and toothpicks.
