- 1 cup chilled sherry vinegar
- 1 rib celery, peeled
- 1 shallot, cut in half
- 1 tsp. fennel seeds

Method
Combine the tomato juice, vodka, vinegar, celery, shallot, fennel seeds, paprika, hot sauce, lemon juice, and salt in a blender and blend until completely smooth.
To rim the glasses with the Bulls Bay salt, rub the outer rim with a cut lemon. Place the salt on a small plate. Tip the wet outer rim of the glass into the salt at about a 45-degree angle, making sure not to get the salt inside the glass. Let dry for a couple of minutes before adding the ice and bloody mary mix. Garnish with the shrimp and okra.
