SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Appetizer

2 cups shrimps, cooked
1 cup mayonnese
1 tsp tomato paste
4 round lettuce leaves
2 tbsp brandy (optional)
1 pinch hot pepper powder (optional)


In a bowl arrange mayo, brandy, tomato paste and hot pepper powder. Mix to combine all ingredients; since "sauce" is supposed to be pink, add a little bit more tomato paste (not too much, you don't want to taste it).

Add shrimps, toss to coat and refrigerate.

In the mean time, wash lettuce leaves and pat them dry.

Arrange each lettuce leaf in 4 individual small bowls and spoon shrimp cocktail evenly in each of them.

Refrigerate until it's time to serve them.

This recipe serves 4.


- Being an appetizer, portions are supposed to be reasonable and not too big.
