Bloody Mary Shrimp Cocktail (Betty Crocker)

1. 1

   Arrange shrimp in a single layer in shallow rectangular glass or plastic dish so the shrimp rest in the marinate. Actually a gallon ziplock bag works fine - but marinate must cool prior to combining.

2. 2

   Heat tomato juice, vodka, and pepper sauce to boiling in 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Stir in sugar; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Stir in celery salt and parsley.

5. 5

   Pour marinate over shrimp, cover, refrigerate, but not more than 3 hours as tomato juice will begin to tough shrimp if left longer.

6. 6

   Mix cocktail sauce and olives; pour into small serving bowl. Remove shrimp from marinade with slotted spoon; arrange on serving platter. Serve shrimp with sauce and toothpicks.

7. 7

   Serve with sauce and toothpicks.
