List of Ingredients




16" styrofoam cone
5 bunches fresh parsley
Plastic wrap
1/2 lb. (or more) med. sized shrimp shelled,deveined and cooked
1 dozen cherry tomatoes
Ripe pitted olives
Stuffed green olives
1/2" cubes of assorted cheese
decorative toothpicks


Recipe



Wash and dry parsley. Using decorative toothpicks, secure parsley sprigs to styrofoam cone, working around and down to completely cover cone with parsley. Cone should appear to be covered with parsley leaves. (Stems should not show.) This step may be done the day before the party. Cover the green cone with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. An hour before the party, "decorate" the tree by securing shrimp, cherry tomatoes, olives and cheese cubes to the cone with toothpicks. A cherry tomato on top of the tree completes the ornaments. Place decorated tree on a pedestal candle stand to serve as a Christmas tree stand or use any approximate base available. As guest discover that the tree is edible, the hostess should redecorate the centerpiece with more garnishes.
