A Boozy Shrimp Cocktail Appetizer

The cocktail part of these Shrimp Shooters is similar to a Bloody Mary, but a little lighter and not as spicy. Just some vodka, tomato juice and spices mixed together to make a tasty shot for dipping your shrimp in.

Then drinking your delicious, Bloody Mary Shooter. It’s a two for one recipe here!

How Do You Make These Bloody Mary Shrimp Shooters?

1. Mix together the ingredients for the shooter in a large measuring cup or any small pitcher with a spout for pouring. Make sure you taste for seasonings, you can add more cayenne if you like it spicier, or less if you don’t. Then pour out your shooter mix into 6 tall shot glasses.
2. Rim the shot glasses by wetting the rims with lime juice or water, then into a sweet and spicy dry rub.
3. Garnish with a big roasted shrimp and a lime wedge and serve!

Set these shooters out on a tray for appetizers and make a “build your own” Bloody Mary Shooter bar for guests so they can make theirs spicier or milder. Just make sure you have a least one shrimp per shooter!
