Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Wooden Skewers

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup tomato juice
  • 2 tablespoons vodka
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 12 green olives
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 4 wooden skewers

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the tomato juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and lemon juice until combined.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Remove the shrimp from the heat and toss them in half of the tomato mixture to coat.
  • Thread each skewer with three shrimp, alternating with celery pieces, green olives, and cherry tomatoes.
  • Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve with the remaining tomato mixture on the side for dipping.

Notes

Prepare the tomato mixture a few hours ahead so the flavors have time to blend. Cooked shrimp from the market can replace raw ones if you want to skip the skillet step. The celery pieces give a fresh snap that balances the soft shrimp and keeps the skewers from feeling one-note.
