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)

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. 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.
