Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place them on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread them in 1 layer. Roast for 8 to10 minutes, just until pink and firm and cooked through. Set aside to cool.
• For the sauce, combine the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Serve as a dip with the shrimp.

Steps:

• Preheat large skillet 1-2 minutes on medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place shrimp in skillet, saute for 7 minutes and prepare according to package instructions. Pour off 1/2 cup of scampi butter and reserve for crostini. Brush reserved scampi butter on bread slices. Place on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

• To serve, divide tomato relish evenly among 8 martini glasses. Top each with 3 shrimp. Spoon about 1 tablespoon vinaigrette over each. Garnish with sliced basil leaves.

Steps:

• GARLIC MASHED POTATOES: Boil potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork tender.
• Drain thoroughly and return potatoes to the pot.
• Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat.
• Add the minced garlic to infuse the flavor into the butter.
• Add the milk (or cream) just enough time to warm it.
• Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes while adding the butter/garlic mixture.
• Season to taste with salt and white pepper. DO NOT overmix the potatoes!
• WHISKEY BUTTER SAUCE: Cut the butter up into small pieces and chill in the freezer. Place the wine, whiskey and shallot into a small pan.
• Simmer over low heat until mixture is reduced to 1 tablespoon.
• Remove from heat and add the butter, one piece at a time. Stir the butter into the sauce, whisking until melted.
• Keep cooking butter sauce on low heat until the ingredients are incorporated. The sauce should have a thick and creamy appearance.
