Posted: March 5, 2011 7:59 am
Mardi Gras is Tuesday March 8th this year. We are having a Fat Tuesday lunch at work, and each of us is required to bring something (No alcohol allowed 
). So far I have two ideas that I'll share with you, but I'm still looking, so feel free to post any suggestions you may have for me. Thanks, Monica
Mardi Gras Shrimp
1 lb. fresh or frozen (thawed) shrimp, cooked
Marinade = 3 Tblsp. Olive Oil, 3 Tblsp. Lemon OR Lime juice, 2 Tblsp. finely chopped Scallions (green onions), 1 Tblsp Honey,
2 tspns Prepared Horseradish, 1 to 2 tspns, Hot Petter Sauce.
Combine all marinade ingredients into a large Ziploc bag, add shrimp, coat well. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, turning ocassionally. Drain shrimp, discard marinade and serve cold.
Margarita Jello Pie
1 pkg. (4 - serving size) JELLO Margarita Flavor Gelatin, 2/3 cup boiling water, 1/2 cup cold water, ice cubes, 1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip Whipped topping, 1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust.
Stir 2/3 cup boiling water into dry gelatin mix in a large bowl for at least 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add enough ice to the 1/2 cup cold water to measure 1 cup, add to the gelatin, stir until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice. Add whipped topping, sitr with a wire whisk until well blended. Refrigerate 15 to 20 minutes til mixture is thick and will mound. Spoon mixture into pie crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until firm. Serve cold. Store any leftovers in refrigerator.
