Easy Shrimp Appetizer for the Holidays
 
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds medium shrimp
  • 4 Tablespoons Creole Mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 6 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon finely chopped green onions
  • ¼ cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery
Instructions
  1. Prepare shrimp: Peel and devein shrimp. Place in a saucepan and add enough cold water to come about 1-inch above the shrimp. Add 2 slices lemon and 1 Tablespoon salt. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and drain. Allow to cool. If not using immediately, cover to prevent drying.
  2. For marinade: Combine the mustard and vinegar in a bowl that will fit the shrimp. Using a wire whisk, beat in the olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the green onion, parsley, and celery.
  3. Add the shrimp and stir well to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least two hours so that the sauce permeates the shrimp. When ready to serve, mix again and place in a decorative bowl. Provide toothpicks. Serves 8-10. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
