Tequila Lime Shrimp Cocktail
Shrimp cocktail is always a great option for rounding out your appetizer menu — it works for a larger party, a smaller gathering or even a slightly elevated family dinner. The addition of L&B Shrimp Tequila Lime Seasoning in this recipe turns an ordinary shrimp cocktail into a light, bright Mexican-inspired dish that is as versatile and crowd pleasing as it is refreshing and delicious. The L&B seasoning adds the perfect balance of flavor to the shrimp, just enough to make its mark without overpowering the natural freshness.
