How to Make Composed Appetizer Platter
- **Prep the Vegetables (Night Before):** In a large bowl, combine 1 large head of cauliflower (cut into bite-sized florets), 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes, 1 pint cremini mushrooms (halved or quartered), 2 cups baby carrots, 1 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and halved), and 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced).
- **Marinate:** Pour an entire (12-16 oz) bottle of your favorite Italian dressing over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat completely.
- **Refrigerate:** Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Give it a good stir before bed.
- **Add Shrimp (Morning Of):** In the morning, gently fold in 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined).
- **Combine:** Combine the shrimp and vegetables gently but thoroughly.
- **Refrigerate:** Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- **Drain & Arrange:** When ready to serve, drain the shrimp and vegetable mixture well in a colander to remove excess dressing. Arrange attractively on a large platter.
- **Garnish & Serve:** Arrange 6-8 hard-boiled egg halves around the edge of the platter. Grind fresh black pepper over the platter and serve immediately. Enjoy!
