Shrimp Shooters



This chilled shrimp gazpacho is perfect for hot summer days.  I was inspired to make this after I bought something similar from Whole Foods market.  Plus, my sister had given me these great tasting party glasses for Christmas, and I was dying to use them.  These made a splendid vessel for this spicy, refreshing and amazing first course to any meal.  


Ingredients:
1 32 oz bottle spicy bloody Mary mix (my fav is Mr. and Mrs. T’s)
1/2 cup precooked salad shrimp
¼ cup diced English cucumber
¼ cup finely diced red onion
¼ cup finely diced celery (save the leafy tops for garnish)
1 clove finely minced garlic clove
1 TBSP fresh lemon or lime juice
1 TBSP fresh cilantro chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
1.   Combine all ingredients, except shrimp, and chill for at least 2 hours.
2.  When ready to serve, stir in shrimp.
3.  Carefully spoon into shooter glasses.
4.  Insert leafy celery tops.
5.   Serve and enjoy.
