No party is complete without some great appetizers, but it is especially true on Halloween when your are searching for the most perfectly disgusting body parts. Not only do they have to look bad, but they still have to taste good. Here is my favorite appetizer for everyone who loves shrimp, and it is both fast and easy to make

What You Will Need:

  • 1 lb medium-large sized cocktail shrimp
  • 1/4 pound small cocktail shrimp
  • toothpicks
  • cocktail sauce
  • rosemary sprigs for garnish

How to make them:

Go to your favorite grocery store or fish market and pick up some already-cooked cocktail shrimp. Since the shrimp you are using is ready to eat, you will not have to de-vein or shell them, but you will have to cut off the tail. Cut off the tails. Next, take the medium large shrimp and slice them down the middle (on the inside of the curve) so that you are butterflying them. Tuck the small shrimp into the medium large shrimp and skewer with a toothpick. Skewering them will hold the ear together, giving it the appearance of a human ear.

Finish off by drizzling a little cocktail sauce over one of the ears so it appears bloody. This is your sample ear so prop it up for all to see... then place the rest of the shrimp strategically on a platter, with cocktail sauce drizzled around it (not on it, some people do not like it). Finish by putting a few rosemary sprigs on the drizzled blood (cocktail sauce). Have a bowl of cocktail sauce and some sliced lemons on the side for the guests to use at their fancy.

When you put this together, you will how this can be a very popular and easy appetizer for a disgusting Halloween party food. Bon appetit!

Easy appetizer and finger food ideas?

my grandparents are coming over for like an afternoon tea and I need some ideas of some foods I can make that are easy and don't require silverware. I have a small house and a 2 yr old so i have no coffe table. I was thinking of making maybe some mini sandwiches like ham and cheese or egg salad and maybe some cookies. Does anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks
