shrimp cocktail appetizer

on christmas day, it is especially nice to serve a special holiday appetizer.  for this year's meal, i served shrimp cocktail.  the shrimp are pre-cooked with tails on and served chilled in a pedestal glass on a bed of shredded dark green romaine. 

a selection of shrimp toppings are served on the plate.  this year, i used minced red onions, horseradish sauce and olde cape cod seafood cocktail sauce.  served with a small shrimp fork, this appetizer is a lovely presentation.
