I can’t believe that Labor Day is this weekend. I just love summer and everything about it. I especially love to eat outdoors and by the water.
So when my friend called and asked if I’d like to go for lunch at The Seafood Shack, I jumped at the chance. I’ll be ready when you get here 🙂
I looked at the menu out of habit because I already knew what I wanted!! Shrimp Cocktail & Little Neck Clams. Oh, yeah!!
Shrimp Cocktail – Food Network
- 1 lemon, juiced, plus lemon wedges for garnish
- 16 jumbo shrimp, cooked and cleaned
- Salt
- 1 (28-ounce) can chunky style crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons horseradish
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, eyeball it
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce, eyeball it
- 2 ribs celery, finely chopped
- 4 shots ice cold vodka, optional
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Squeeze half of the lemon over the shrimp and sprinkle them with a little salt. Mix together the remaining lemon juice, tomatoes, horseradish, Worcestershire, hot sauce, celery, vodka and pepper in a small pitcher. When ready to serve,pour the sauce into martini glasses. Hook the shrimp, 4 per glass, around edges. Make garnish wedges of lemons to hook on the edges of the glasses and serve.
TIP: Chill some martini glasses in your freezer the morning of your dinner club party to serve these cocktails.
My girlfriend let me have some of her waffle fries – would you look at that Lobster Roll . Wow!! I hope I get to go back to the Seafood Shack a few more times before it closes in October for the winter. Keeping my fingers crossed for a Indian Summer 🙂
