Shrimp Cocktail Appetizer

Joci Besecker

Enjoy this elevated shrimp cocktail appetizer! This is a football-season staple and a key ingredient to a successful tailgate before Husky games. With just six ingredients, this recipe is as delicious as it is easy to make.

Our Wild Oregon Bay Shrimp are pre-cooked so it is quick and easy to thaw and include in this recipe. In addition to convenient, they are also delicious and high-protein.

Another highly important part of this recipe is Jeff's homemade cocktail sauce which is free of additives and high-fructose corn syrup!
