LAYERED SHRIMP APPETIZER

Steps:

• 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and garlic. Mix with an electric mixer until all is thoroughly blended together.
• 2. Spread the mixture on bottom of a glass 8X8X2 (or slightly larger) serving dish.
• 3. Pour and spread bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce atop the cheese and spice, herb mix. Next, drain any excess water from your clean, cooked, thawed shrimp and place on top of the cocktail sauce.
• 4. Now add all fresh vegetables atop your shrimp and top off with the finely shredded mozzarella cheese mixed with pimento and sliced ripe olives. (I do not usually use the pimento and ripe olives unless it for a fancy party.) GARNISH with the reserved shrimp sprinkled atop the Mozzarella dish. (Please do not forget this step because some people are allergic to shellfish.) Chill and serve with Ritz Crackers or crackers of your choice.
• 5. *OPTIONAL* If you do not have Shrimp Cocktail Sauce, but you have chili sauce, substitute it and serve with tortilla chips, corn chips etc...

BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place bacon halves in a single layer on old baking sheet or baking sheet that has been covered with aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes. Move partially cooked bacon to paper towels to drain.
• 2. Meanwhile in a small saucepan combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, ketchup and garlic. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
• 3. Wrap a piece of bacon around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick. Place them in a single layer on the baking sheet that you cooked the bacon on. Brush the shrimp with the spicy sweet sauce and place in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip them, and baste them again. Bake for 5 more minutes.
• 4. Remove from the oven and baste again. Place under the broiler on high for 2-3 minutes rotating the baking sheet several times. Stay close by as broilers are unpredictable and can easily burn the shrimp.
