Time 8h25m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
½ cup cold water
1 ½ ounces Asian bean thread vermicelli noodles
4 cups boiling water, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) jar cocktail sauce
2 pounds cooked shrimp - peeled, tails removed, and shrimp chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped, or more to taste
½ (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, chopped, or more to taste
1 brain-shaped gelatin mold
1 (8 ounce) jar cocktail sauce

Steps:

  • Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a bowl and set aside to soften. Place bean thread noodles in heatproof bowl and top with 4 cups boiling water or amount needed to cover. Allow noodles to soften for 5 minutes.
  • Pour 1 jar cocktail sauce into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in softened gelatin; cook, stirring frequently, until completely melted. Remove pan from heat.
  • Combine shrimp, celery, and water chestnuts in a large bowl. Drain noodles and shake off excess water; add to bowl. Add warmed gelatin mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Lightly grease gelatin mold. Press mixture firmly into mold, making sure all gaps are filled. Cover filled mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Invert mold onto a serving platter (see Cook's Notes). Drizzle cocktail sauce around the edges to create pool of "blood."
