Kalamata Shrimp Cocktail

Ingredients

1 lb. cooked tiger shrimp
2 tbsp. Italian parsley, chopped
2 tbsp. green onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tbsp. capers, rinsed
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, rinsed, sliced
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 lemon
Crushed red pepper, if desired

Instructions

Thaw shrimp on a flat baking sheet.

Combine parsley, onion and garlic. Add chopped olives and capers. Note: both of these ingredients have a very strong taste, the more they are rinsed, the softer their taste becomes.

Add olive oil and stir.

Slice lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon in with the other ingredients.

Slice the other lemon and use as a garnish.

Once shrimp are completely thawed, add to spice and herb mixture and toss gently.

Add crushed red pepper if desired and serve with cocktail sauce.
