Now here’s my kind of appetizer/party food!I love anything that’s got a perfectly golden brown crisp crust and dunked in some kind of delicious sauce. Here you get the tastiest, skillet seared, crispy panko crusted shrimp that’s seasoned with herbs and spices and it’s paired with a simple yet flavorful co*cktail sauce.
Shrimp with co*cktail Sauce
This shrimp is the perfect appetizer fortailgating, just pile themhigh on a platter and of course nix the forks and let everyone dive in. These areso good that you may find yourself caring a little less about who’s winning and thinking more of how delicious the food is, just maybe :).
Andif your team doesn’t win you’llbe saying “at least the shrimp was really good.” So it’s not a bad lossall around.
If you aren’t a fan of co*cktail sauce you can serve it with any other shrimpsauce you’d like. It’s a basic coatingso it would go with just about anything, but don’t leave out those McCormick spices!
Made with Trusted Spices
Of course I’ve been a long-time fan of the collection of McCormick spices. They were found in my grandma’s and great grandma’s spice cabinets (previously labeled under the Shilling brand in Western states, I love those vintage tin cans) and they were also inmy mom’s spice cabinet and now they are in mine.
So, in other words it’s a trusted brand that’s been making our food flavorful for a long time.
And here the McCormick Spices just give this shrimp the perfect added boost of flavor that will keep you craving it again and again!
Shrimp is Rich in Protein and Vitamins
Even though it’s taken some time I’m glad my family has come around to loving shrimp!
Not only does it taste great but it’sa good source of protein as well as vitamins and minerals such as selenium, Vitamin b12 and phospherous, choline, copper and iodine.
