The holidays have arrived and so has Florida Strawberry Season! When it gets cold out in New York, I know that I can still have fresh, delicious Florida Strawberries to cheer me up and get me through the winter! Not to mention they are available through the spring! I love the nutritious strawberry. It helps fuel your vitamin C with just 8 berries, and are virtually fat free. When I bite into a fresh strawberry I feel bright, refreshed, happy, and full of life! Isn't it amazing how a simple fruit can make you feel so alive?

This time of year, the biggest thing on my mind is what can I make for an appetizer? I love appetizers. If I had a dime for every time I've said that phrase either in person or on my blog, I would be a rich woman! So, I am always looking for ways to make something a little unique or special for an appetizer.

Roast the strawberries!

I decided to take fresh Florida Strawberries and roast them to make a smoky, spicy dipping sauce for my roasted shrimp. I love the flavor and strawberry juice that accumulates as you roast your berries and thought it would match well with a little bit of a heat in a sauce to dip my roasted shrimp in.

Cook and blend the sauce!

Making this sauce was as easy as roasting the berries, then simmering the remaining ingredients on the stovetop with the strawberries for a short time.

Blend it all together!

After cooling for a little bit, I put it all in my nutribullet and blended it up until it was nice and smooth.

Roast your shrimp.

While my sauce was simmering I roasted my shrimp that I was going to serve with the sauce. Simply seasoned with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, these took only about 6 minutes in the oven. Once cooled, I then put them in the refrigerator to keep cold.

Prepare to serve.

I love the little tasting spoons and I always use them for intimate gatherings with several appetizers on the menu.
