Ingredients:
12 unpeeled, jumbo cooked shrimp |
rémoulade sauce |
12 whole pickled okra |
12 very thin crispy breadsticks, broken in half |

1. Peel shrimp, leaving tails on; devein, if desired.
2. Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp. of Rémoulade Sauce evenly into each of 12 individual serving glasses. Place 1 shrimp, 1 whole pickled okra, and 2 breadstick halves in each glass. Garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.
3. Note: To cook shrimp at home, bring 3 qt. water to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Cut 2 lemons in half, and squeeze juice into boiling water; add squeezed lemon halves to water.
