What You Will Need:

• 1 lb medium-large sized cocktail shrimp
• 1/4 pound small cocktail shrimp
• toothpicks
• cocktail sauce
• rosemary sprigs for garnish

How to make them:

Go to your favorite grocery store or fish market and pick up some already-cooked cocktail shrimp.  Since you are using cocktail shrimp, you will not have to de-vein or shell them, but you will have to cut off the tail.  Cut off the tails.  Next,  take the medium large shrimp and slice them down the middle (on the inside of the curve) so that you are butterflying them.  Tuck the small shrimp into the medium large shrimp and skewer with a toothpick.  Skewering them will hold the ear together, giving it the appearance of a human ear.

Finish off by drizzling a little cocktail sauce over one of the ears so it appears bloody.  This is your sample ear so prop it up for all to see… then place the rest of the shrimp strategically on a platter, with cocktail sauce drizzled around it (not on it, some people do not like cocktail sauce).  Finish by putting a few rosemary sprigs on the drizzled blood (cocktail sauce).  Have a bowl of cocktail sauce and some sliced lemons on the side for the guests to use at their fancy.

When you put this together, you will how this can be a very popular and easy appetizer for a disgusting Halloween party food.  Bon appetit!
