Shrimp Cocktail

Mi carino is obsessed with shrimp cocktail. We enjoy it year-round since the temperatures here in South Texas are always warm. He requested it be added to our New Year’s Eve line-up and I happily agreed.  Shrimp cocktail is one of those appetizers that is a true shining star, it’s so easy to make, doesn’t require the oven or grill and can be prepared in advance.

This year I’m keeping it simple by preparing a few make ahead appetizers paired with a festive champagne punch spiked with tequila.

Tequila and shrimp – a perfect combo.
