Shrimp Whatchamacallit
I was so happy to find my lost recipe today....I knew how to make it, but needed it for sharing......this is a fantastic recipe for the Holidays.....
Shrimp Whatchamcallit
I can tell you how to fix it, but it does not have a name. This is the best stuff you have ever eaten, and you DO NOT COOK a thing.
1 bottle of Clamato Juice
1 can of Spicy Hot V-8 juice
1 diced green pepper
1 diced red pepper
(I use yellow pepper when I can find them for color as well)
3-4 fresh green onions and tops
I also dice up a little bit of Texas 1015 sweet onion
(I cut mine with the scissors !)
I can of diced tomatoes
1 (or more) finely diced jalapeno peppers
Squeeze some fresh lime or lemon juice in this (I use about 2)
Add 2 bags of frozen, cleaned, and cooked shrimp. You can
use the little ones, too, but I love the big shrimp or use both.
Add fresh finely cut cilantro, as much as you prefer
Chill over night in the refridg….marinates all the flavors.
Add a couple diced avacados and fresh diced tomato just before
serving.
This looks pretty served in those clear 4 oz. plastic cups.We love
the juice, and sometimes add extra clamato and spicy V-8. You
can't make any mistakes !!
This was a recipe from Weaver, when we had a Thanksgiving Dinner over at his place years ago....

Chocolate Angel Food Cake
This is Martha Stewart's recipe.....one of the best angel food cakes I have ever made...I am always losing this recipe, so I am putting it here so I will have it ......I just sprinkle sifted confectionary sugar on the top of mine after it is done....
.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups sugar
Scant 1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 ounce semisweet chocolate, grated (about 1/2 cup)
12 large egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oven rack in center. Sift together onto a piece of parchment paper 3/4 cup sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add grated chocolate; set aside.
Step 2
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. With machine running, add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar in a slow steady stream, beating until fully incorporated and stiff glossy peaks form. Add vanilla and almond extracts; beat to combine.
Step 3
Remove from mixer. Gradually add flour mixture, gently but thoroughly, folding into egg-white mixture until fully combined. Pour into a nonstick angel food cake pan. Tap pan on counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until cake springs back when depressed with a finger, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool, inverted, 1 hour before removing pan. Serve with chocolate hazelnut anglaise.
