VEGAS SHRIMP COCKTAIL
This was my first recipe, learned in home ec class in junior high school. It is a simple and delicious sauce for individual shrimp cocktails or as a dipping sauce for shrimp and/or other shellfish. It has proven a success for a brunch, luncheon or dinner party. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Serve with my recipe for Parmesan Crackers.
