Shrimp cocktail with orange and horseradish mayonnaise

We love shrimp and this little recipe for an easy shrimp cocktail, is the perfect party dish or snack. This dish reminds me of what the Brits refer to as ‘Prawn Cocktail‘, but with a beautiful Florida twist.

With the addition of the cream of horseradish to this shrimp cocktail, adding a little heat, and once you taste it with the sauce and shrimp, you will understand exactly what we mean. The blood infused olive oil is one of our products that we use ourselves – a lot! And it is perfect for this dish, adding an aroma that helps to lift the flavour of the oranges.
