Shrimp and Smoked Salmon Cocktail

Ingredients

Preparation

FOR THE SALSA ROSA

1. In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, carrot, and hot peppers. Cook for 5 minutes.
2. Add the marinara sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Stir well and let simmer over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
5. Place the mixture in a food processor and add the mayonnaise. Blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add 30 to 60 ml (2 to 4 tbsp) of hot water until desired consistency is reached.

ASSEMBLY

1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with enough salsa rosa to coat well.
2. Line a serving bowl or individual serving cups with smoked salmon and lettuce leaves. Top with some shrimp mixture. Garnish with chives and serve with crackers on the side.
