This jolly sandwich wreath always disappears in a twinkling at parties! Best of all, I can put it together in no time using deli ham and chicken salads-or sometimes I make my own. Try decking it with "holly" fashioned from parsley and grape tomatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm shrimp: Look for shrimp that are plump and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Prepare the shrimp properly: Devein and peel the shrimp before cooking. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp correctly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Make the cocktail dip ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Assemble the shrimp wreath just before serving: This will help to keep the shrimp fresh and prevent them from becoming soggy.
