Receta Shrimp Cocktail Spread
Are you looking for an easy party recipe to bring to a holiday potluck or family gathering? Well, leave it to frequent contributor, Holly Clegg, to come up with one that’s not only tasty and gorgeous, but healthy too – Shrimp Cocktail Spread from her KITCHEN 101: Secrets to Cooking Confidence cookbook.
You can easily make this dairy free by using a tofu cream cheese. I’d also recommend making your own cocktail sauce from your favorite ketchup and horseradish sauce with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dash of sea salt. It’s more economical and if you like your cocktail sauce more zesty, just add more horseradish!
Finally, this shrimp recipe is naturally gluten free, so it’ll be a hit with all your GF friends. Before you know it, Holly’s Shrimp Cocktail Spread will be the appetizer everyone will be asking you to bring to their party!
