Shrimp Martini
Equipment
- 20 plastic mini martini shot glasses
Ingredients
- 1 pound of 15-20 or 30-40 count cooked peeled shrimp
- 1/2 cup citrus vodka
- 26 ounces Italian crushed tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup bottled olive juice for making dirty martinis
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 fresh lemons thinly sliced
- 20 small green pitted olives
- 1/2 cup chiffonade of fresh basil
- 1 small French baguette
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Marinate shrimp in the citrus vodka for a couple hours, saving the vodka to use in the sauce.
- Drain the shrimp and chill.
- Stir the vodka with the tomato sauce, olive juice, garlic and onion powders and butter in a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened.
- Allow the sauce to cool 5 minutes, then whisk in the sour cream.
- Thinly slice the baguette into wedges and brush lightly on one side with the olive oil.
- Place under broiler until lightly toasted (you can work on the bread while the sauce cooks).
- Turn the toasts over and sprinkle with the Parm, and broil again until toasted on that side.
- Fill martini shot glasses about halfway with vodka sauce, hanging 1-2 shrimp over the side with a lemon slice behind that and a toast behind that.
- Sprinkle sauce with shredded basil and top with an olive.
- Serve at once, and if making a little bit ahead, don't put the toasts in the glasses until ready to serve or they will get soggy from the lemon and the sauce.
Notes
Allow for 1-2 hours marination time.
