Certainly these are New Year's Party Shrimp, and they certainly are a ringing endorsement for the new year! But these can also be an any-occasion appetizer that feels elegant and sophisticated... but without actually being hard to make. The shrimp are pink and juicy, with that delectable sweet and savory seafood flavor, and their tails make for easy handles, how convenient. Of course, New Year's Party Shrimp would not be complete without that tangy and mildly spicy cocktail sauce! They may be shrimpy, but they have big party flavor!
