Bright Citrus Shrimp
Take a break from "ho-hum" appetizer shrimp with this brightly flavored version! Cooked shrimp are marinated in a mixture of orange and lemon juice, ketchup, vodka, Sriracha and olive oil, with some sweet red onion and bright cilantro. The flavors pop, and these shrimp are fabulous skewered and offered on a appetizer buffet (think Super Bowl), or dressed up in a martini glass for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner. Shrimp lovers will be delighted by this change-of-pace offering!
