Frog Legs Cocktail

I stumbled onto this recipe as I was cooking frog legs for a large group and they cooked too long – resulting in the meat falling off the bones. So I improvised and created this cold frog leg cocktail – very much like a shrimp or crab cocktail – especially if you add the Old Bay Seasoning.
