Shrimp Cocktail with a twist!
The amount of ingredients is based off of serving 6 people.
What you need:
Shrimp (1 pound)
2 bell peppers (chopped)
Cilantro (to your liking, I like A LOT)
Black beans (1 can or 1/2 pound bag)
Tomato (1-2) sliced
Cocktail sauce (optional)
Boil shrimp until pink and let cool, lay to side
Depending on if you use canned black beans or dry...
In mixing bowl pour 1 can black beans or your cooked, former dried black beans
(If using dry black beans, use 1/2 of a 1 pound bag. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add black beans, turn temp. to low and let black beans simmer for 1-2 hours or until tender).
Add chopped bell peppers and sliced tomatoes.
Cut up cilantro and add.
Gently mix black beans, bell pepper, tomato and cilantro together.
Use goblet or glass of your choice and add salad into the goblet.
Slice cold shrimp about half-way down the middle and add around goblet.
Place on small plate with cocktail sauce on the side!
Don't throw away your leftovers!!!
Add Feta or Blue Cheese to the salad mix and re-purpose your leftovers!
If you have shrimp left over (why would you?) cut it up and add it as well!
What a nice, refreshing and easy lunch!
