Instructions
On a large prepared board, place the empty pot that you will be cooking the soup in. Then arrange the bread around that pan.
Remove the pan and cook the soup. This allows you to have the right amount of space when ready to serve the hot soup.
In a large bowl, place the rinsed and drained (very well) baby shrimp. Add the cocktail sauce and lightly stir.
Into small cups, pour the shrimp cocktail. Add a mini fork, and garnish with fresh parsley. Place 8 cups on either side of the board.
In the open areas, arrange the crackers, and fill 2 small bowls with bacon and butter.
Add utensils, like mini forks, tongs, a knife for butter, and a spoon for the soup.
Place the hot soup on the hot pad (keep lid on). Remove the lid right before serving.
Optional to toast the bread right before serving, too.
