BLOODY MARY SALAD

Steps:

• DRESSING: In a saucepan over medium-high, heat the olive oil. Saute the shallots until soft about 2-3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with vodka; simmering until almost all evaporated. Add the V8 juice, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, sugar, horseradish, celery seed, and fresh lemon juice.
• Boil the mixture for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and chill. Dressing can be prepared several hours in advance.
• SALAD: Toss remaining ingredients together and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the mixture among 4 plates, arranging on each plate a shot glass filled with the salad dressing, placed to the side.

BLOODY MARY SEAFOOD SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok, then turn up the heat and add the garlic and scallops. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 min until the scallops are just cooked. Tip onto a plate. Heat the remaining oil and stir-fry the prawns for 1-2 mins over a high heat until they turn pink, then season with some black pepper. Tip onto the plate with the scallops. Allow the seafood to cool completely.
• To make the bloody mary sauce, mix the tomato juice with the oyster sauce (use 2 tbsp for a stronger flavour), light soy sauce, rice vinegar and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the flavour with more of the ingredients if you want an even stronger flavour.
• When the seafood is cool, divide it between four glasses or small bowls, keeping 4 prawns for garnish. Add the celery and avocado to each glass and pour over the tomato mixture. Leave to marinade for 10 mins, or cover and chill for up to 4 hrs. Garnish each glass with the reserved prawns and some coriander.

BLOODY MARY CRAWFISH SALAD

• Add 3 shakes of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco (or more if you like it very spicy) and a pinch of celery salt and pepper. Stir until the outside of the jug feels cold, then strain the cocktail into 2 tall glasses.
• Top up with fresh ice, add a celery stick and lemon slice to both glasses and enjoy.
