One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

Shrimp Cocktail

Preparation: 20 minutes

Ingridients:

30 g of frozen shrimp
1 teaspoon cogniac
1 tblsp horseradish
1 1/2 tblsp ketchup
4 green lettuce leaves
4 tblsp mayonnaise
2 medium oranges
a pinch of salt, pepper, tabasco

Method:

Defrost shrimps, mix with cognac and leave in a cool place for about 15 minutes.

Mix mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup and spices. Be careful, you don't want to add too much ketchup! (just make sure your mixture is slightly pink). Then mix shimps with the sauce. 

Divide washed and dried lettuce into small pieces. Peel oranges, remove white skin parts and cut the rest into small pieces. 

Place lettuce into the cocktail cups, add oranges, shrimp mixture and again some lettuce on the top. Leave in a cool place before serving.
