Shrimp Cocktail Appetizer

Shrimp Cocktail Appetizer

A football-season staple. Wild Oregon bay shrimp arrive pre-cooked, so they only need thawing and patting dry. Cream cheese goes onto a plate first, then a cocktail sauce whisked from two parts ketchup to one part horseradish, then the shrimp, chopped green onion and fresh lemon. Serve with crackers.
