PALEO SHRIMP COCKTAIL
The other night we had some non-paleo guests over and I tried to come up with some paleo dishes that we could serve them that wouldn't be too different from what they would usually eat. I had the rest of the meal already planned out but I wanted an appetizer for us to much on before dinner. Shrimp cocktail was the first thing that popped into my head, and I knew I just had to come up with a yummy cocktail sauce in order to make it work.
Shrimp cocktail is an easy appetizer to whip up, and it also makes a healthy snack or meal. The sauce does not require any cooking....just throw everything in a bowl and mix. I like to let my sauce chill in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.
I made my husband be the hand model in the picture below. Why you ask? For one, its hard to take a picture while your other hand is holding seafood. But the real reason is because I hate my pudgy little fingers. They would have blended right in with the shrimp. Thankfully he was a great hand model and held very still while I got my action shot. I think he may have missed his calling in life.
