As a professional athlete, keeping my body in tip-top shape was my number one priority. Now that I’m a mother, my number one priority is making sure my kids are happy and healthy, which means my fitness routine can sometimes take a backseat. In fact, before my time on Dancing With the Stars, I hadn’t been in a gym in almost three years.

Classic shrimp cocktail is one of the world's greatest appetizers. The traditional recipe involves boiled shrimp, but during the Summer, why not use the grill to impart a smoky flavor on the shellfish? That's what this incredible recipe does! The shrimp are seasoned lightly with smoked Spanish paprika before being charred on the grill. Chili sauce and horseradish are combined with seasonings and finely chopped celery for a quick and easy but super flavorful and almost spicy cocktail sauce. When I served these plump, succulent shrimp, they were gone in five minutes. I recommend making a double batch!
