Shrimp, Artichoke and Grapefruit Cocktail
- 3 yellow grapefruits or 3 pink grapefruit
- 1 12 cups bay shrimp, fresh (or equivalent amount crabmeat)
- 14 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 tablespoons spicy dark rum
- 1 12 cups artichoke hearts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 14 cup chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- lemon wedge
- fresh parsley or fresh cilantro leaves
- NOTE: I have also used frozen bay shrimp that has been thawed.
- For the artichoke hearts I have used either the jarred marinated or frozen hearts-thawed.
- Make the cocktail dressing first by combining the mayonnaise, chili sauce, parsley, Worcestershire, and black pepper.
- Cover and chill.
- Cut grapefruits in half.
- Remove the fruit segments with a serrated (grapefruit) spoon.
- Cut the fruit segments up into bite sized pieces and toss with the lemon juice.
- Clean out the grapefruit shells and remove pith; set aside.
- In a bowl gently mix the grapefruit, shrimp, cayenne and rum.
- Cut the marinated artichokes* up into bite sized pieces and combine with the grapefruit/shrimp mixture.
- *If using frozen artichoke hearts, squeeze out the excess moisture gently with your hands.
- Divide the mixture and spoon into the grapefruit shells.
- Divide and spoon the cocktail dressing on top of each grapefruit shell.
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley (or cilantro leaves).
- Serve immediately.
