Shrimp Cocktail

Method

Caprese Skewers

  1. 1

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread a cherry tomato, a basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball onto each skewer. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

  2. 2

    Drizzle Balsamic Glaze

    Arrange skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.

Mini Spinach and Feta Pastries

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in feta cheese.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Pastries

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface, brush with melted butter, layer another sheet on top, and cut into squares. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each square and fold over to seal.

  3. 5

    Bake

    Place pastries on a baking sheet and brush the tops with beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Shrimp Cocktail

  1. 6

    Cook the Shrimp

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink. Remove and chill in ice water.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Arrange chilled shrimp on a platter with lemon wedges and serve with cocktail sauce.
