Bloody Mary Shrimp Cocktail (Betty Crocker) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, cooked, peeled, and deveined
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/4 cup vodka
1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup seafood cocktail sauce
1/4 cup green olives, finely chopped

Preparation

Arrange shrimp in a single layer in shallow rectangular glass or plastic dish so the shrimp rest in the marinate. Actually a gallon ziplock bag works fine - but marinate must cool prior to combining.
Heat tomato juice, vodka, and pepper sauce to boiling in 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
Stir in sugar; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
Stir in celery salt and parsley.
Pour marinate over shrimp, cover, refrigerate, but not more than 3 hours as tomato juice will begin to tough shrimp if left longer.
Mix cocktail sauce and olives; pour into small serving bowl. Remove shrimp from marinade with slotted spoon; arrange on serving platter. Serve shrimp with sauce and toothpicks.
Serve with sauce and toothpicks.
