Spicy Shrimp & Crab Cocktail
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + chilling
YIELD: 12 servings (about 9 cups)
This seafood starter is so good that it makes me love a food I usually don't—radishes! This recipe also calls for spicy V8, but Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix works just as well. Serve the cocktail straight up, with tortilla chips or on a bed of butter lettuce. —Heidi Knaak, Liberty, Missouri
