Shrimp Christmas Tree
Take two pounds of fresh or frozen shrimp and place them in 1.5 quarts of boiling water. Add 1/3 cup salt. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes or until shrimp are pink and tender. Drain. Peel shrimp, leaving the tail section of shell on. Remove veins and wash. Chill.
Separate and wash three bunches of curly endive. Chill. Then, starting at base of a styrofoam cone and working up, cover with overlapping leaves of endive and fasten with toothpick halves. Cover fully with leaves to resemble a Christmas tree. Attach shrimp to tree with wooden picks. Serve with cocktail sauce for dipping.
