Abstract
A circular tray has a sloping surface extending upwardly from a central base to form a circular support ridge. A retaining ridge concentrically surrounds the support ridge. The support ridge is configured to support a plurality of shrimp arranged to form a nearly arched-shaped ring. A sauce cup is removably disposed on the central base adjacent to tails of the arranged shrimp. An outer ridge concentrically surrounds the retaining ridge. A groove formed between the outer and retaining ridges is sized and configured so as to hold a plurality of pieces of surimi.
Claims22
A shrimp and surimi tray, comprising:
- a central base, a sloping surface extending upwardly from a peripheral edge of the central base and forming a circular support ridge configured to support a plurality of shrimp positioned so that concave sides of the shrimp fit over and engage the support ridge, a retaining ridge concentrically surrounding the support ridge, a first groove between the support ridge and the retaining ridge, an outer ridge concentrically surrounding the retaining ridge, and a second groove between the outer and retaining ridges configured to hold a plurality of surimi pieces therein.
A shrimp and surimi and tray combination, comprising:
- a generally circular tray formed from a single sheet of plastic having a central base, a sloping surface extending upwardly from a peripheral edge of the central base and forming a circular support ridge, a retaining ridge concentrically surrounding the support ridge, a first groove between the support ridge and the retaining ridge, an outer ridge concentrically surrounding the retaining ridge, and a second groove between the outer and retaining ridges;
- a sauce cup removably disposed on the central base;
- a plurality of shrimp arranged radially such that each shrimp's inner concave side is positioned over the support ridge so that the plurality of shrimp are arranged in a single layer, the convex side of the plurality of shrimp forming a nearly arch-shaped ring;
- and
- a plurality of pieces of surimi positioned in the second groove generally end to end to form a ring-like arrangement;
- wherein the central base, first and second grooves are generally coplanar.
A shrimp and surimi tray, comprising:
- a support ridge, a retaining ridge, and an outer ridge concentrically formed in a single sheet of plastic;
- a central base having an outer edge defined by the support ridge;
- a first groove extending between the support ridge and the retaining ridge;
- and
- a second groove extending between the retaining ridge and the outer ridge;
- wherein the support ridge and the retaining ridge are configured to cooperatively support shrimp;
- and
- wherein the second groove is sized and configured to support surimi thereon.
