SHRIMP/PRAWNS AND OLIVES SALAD.
I came up with this recipe a few days ago when I wanted to make a shrimp salad that did not have pasta or salad greens in it. I added things as I went along. The olives add a unique taste to the salad. The recipe calls for pickle juice even though it does not contain any pickles. If you don't have pickle juice, just add more olive juice. This salad tastes better if it is refrigerated for several hours or overnight. Since both olive and pickle juices have a lot of salt in them, there is no salt listed in the ingredients list. This can be served as a meal or as an appetizer at a party. Cook time is refrigeration time and is the minimal time it should be refrigerated for best flavor.

- The canapés may be made 30 minutes in advance and kept covered and chilled. Arrange the canapés on a platter.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shrimp canapés.

- Make the canapés ahead of time. This will save you time on the day of your party. You can make the shrimp canapés up to 2 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
- Serve the canapés chilled. This will help to keep them fresh and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Shrimp canapés are a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create shrimp canapés that will impress your guests and make your party a success.
