Shrimp Shooters

By 13 Comments

I have been admiring the mini parfait glasses at Pier1 for months, but added them to my “want but do not need list” for party entertaining.  However, I was super pumped when I found them at Marshall’s for less than half the price!  Score!! 

There are so many fun things that you can serve in these mini dishes.  I love them for layered desserts, but they also make perfect glasses for serving shrimp cocktail.  I added a small romaine leaf, cocktail sauce, a medium size peeled shrimp, freshly squeezed lemon juice and a little lemon zest.  They make a beautiful presentation and a tasty bite-sized tapas dish.  This is a healthy holiday appetizer that you can feel great about serving to your guests!  Enjoy~

  2. These are so cool. My wife made something similar last year for my birthday, but it was actually a soup shooter. I love your lettuce treatment.
