SPICY SHRIMP VODKA SHOOTERS

24 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined and cooked.

(I usually buy frozen, raw shrimp, thaw them, peel them, and boil in a small amount of water until just cooked through, then give them an ice water bath)

Sauce:

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup pepper vodka (I used Ballast Point “Fugu” Habanero vodka)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons bottled horseradish, or to taste

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Tabasco

3/4 cup chopped celery

1-2 finely chopped jalapeños

Whisk the above ingredients together.

Finely shredded lettuce

Cilantro leaves for garnish

Make sure the sauce is thin enough to slide out of a shot glass. Add more vodka if necessary!

Fill the shot glass 1/2 – 2/3rds with the sauce.  Sprinkle a little shredded lettuce on top.  Add one shrimp, a small amount of the sauce

and a cilantro leaf.  Shoot it!
