Bloody Mary seafood platter
To me, this shouts special occasion. Christmas is all about being dramatic, so I got my mate down the road to stick two lovely planks of wood together to make a big old board large enough to hold the whole of my epic car crash of a Bloody Mary and Marie Rose seafood extravaganza. It's often the really simple things, done well, that are the most effective, so get creative, make yourself a board and wow your guests with this proper smasher of a dish.
