Spicy Thai-Inspired Shrimp Cocktail
Conventional shrimp cocktail makes an easy appetizer for a dinner party - just mix up your cocktail sauce, arrange the shrimp and you're good to go, but the old standby cocktail sauce doesn't necessarily complement every meal. This is a Thai-inspired variation that has made a big hit each time I've served it, and it makes a nice prelude to any Asian-style entree.
