In Italy, traditionally the dinner of Christmas Eve, is dominated of fish dishes.
Especially in the South, the dinner in this day is a ritual. I come from a port city, so fish is the main feature of the meal, from the appetizers to the main courses.
One of classic fish appetizer is shrimp cocktail.
This is a typical holidays’ appetizer. Today’s Christmas recipe is shrimp cocktail indeed.
Shrimp cocktail is my favorite appetizer because as well as being very yummy is also a creative food serving idea!
