We recently hosted our monthly Couples Euchre game at our home and I needed an easy appetizer that I could prepare ahead. If you have read my recent posts, I’ve been making a lot of dishes out of my Costco cookbooks – this one was no different. I found this in my “Cooking in Style The Costco Way” cookbook and made just a few modifications before serving on game night.
I would recommend that whenever you are serving shrimp, that you either serve it on a bed of ice or in some sort of chillable serving platter – or – you only put out a few and keep the rest in the refrigerator to replenish what’s being served.
I love to hear feedback! Please visit my blog at www.thebubblyhostess.blogspot.com. You can also follow The Bubbly Hostess on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.

Heather loves to cook, entertain, plan parties, and of course - drink champagne. She is excited to share her planning tips, party ideas, and favorite recipes. Growing up, she watched her mom cook, bake, and throw great parties, so she’s sure her interest in cooking and entertaining came from her mom. Being a wife and a mommy, her party style ranges from birthday parties for little ones to elegant cocktail parties for the grown ups. Her plans include a combination of her own ideas coupled with those from others. You'll find that her recipes leave some room for experimentation - she doesn’t usually make the same dish exactly the same way twice - She loves to try different things!
