Shrimptini

A few months ago I was invited to a small celebration to celebrate an anniversary. The celebration took place on the beach. A casual set up of comfy chairs around a small fire was the scene. With an amazing view of the beach as part of your landscape not much decorating is needed. A huge pot boiling away was the centerpiece, huge platters of ice, bottles of Tabasco and plenty of martinis ready to be enjoyed were awaiting us.

A few spices were added to the pot, in went the shrimp, a few stirs with a large wooden spoon and they were strained and placed over ice.  Each guests received a tray brimming with perfectly cooked shrimp, a bottle of Tabasco, plenty of napkins and an endless supply of martinis.

I was in heaven. 

One party guest decided it would be a great idea to pour a few dashes into his martini, plop in a plump shrimp and exclaim, “Who needs olives when you can have Texas shrimp in your Martini?” 

I agree.  A martini spiked with a few dashes of Tabasco, paired with a plump shrimp, heaven I tell you.
