Sunday Brunch Shrimp Cocktail

Design

Every restaurant I have worked in that offers a Sunday brunch serves the classic Bloody Mary. I created this to kick off our 2008 Fish House Sweet Tea Cooking Class series, and I still have people commenting how much they enjoy this recipe.

Ingredients:

Cilantro Pesto

24 shrimp
1 bunch fresh cilantro
3 cloves garlic
½ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup pine nuts or walnuts (we used walnuts for the Sweet Tea recipe)

Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce

½ cup ketchup
¼ cup vodka
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco

Instructions:

Cilantro Pesto

Wash and dry cilantro. Put all ingredients except the oil into a food processor and slowly add oil until incorporated. Dredge shrimp in pesto and sauté until cooked. Serve at room temperature with cocktail sauce.

Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce

Mix all ingredients together and chill.
