Almost Shrimp Cocktail

Friday I received the February Bon Appetit magazine and as I was perusing through I ran across this amazing recipe for Poor Man's "Shrimp" Cocktail.  I immediately called friend Pam who gets the magazine also and we both agreed that it had to be tried.  We both went out yesterday, bought the ingredients and did the test.  This is almost "genius" in that if you close your eyes(Pam's words) you really do think you're eating shrimp cocktail....think about it -low fat, low cholesterol, low carb, high fiber, vegan....and CHEAP!

  2. What brand of seasoning did you use? Old Bay and Zatarain's had completely different ingredients and I wasn't sure which was best.

    Thanks,

    1. I used Old Bay...Pam used McCormicks. I think I'll add extra Old Bay to my water next time though

  3. I ended up making it with Zatarain's. I think next time I'll try the Old Bay. Zatarain's ended up just tasting way to much like cayenne.
