COCTEL DE CAMARONES (MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL RECIPE) 

THAT ANYONE CAN COOK

Coctel de Camarones , also known as Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, is not the same as American shrimp cocktail.  This recipe is more like a “salad in a glass!”

It is so simple to put together and has such great fresh flavors that you will come back for seconds. Depending on the occasion or course, you can serve it in shot glasses as an appetizer for easy entertaining or you can enjoy it in cocktail glasses for a quick lunch.

Ingredients – White onion finely chopped – Limes  – Tomato juice for a keto dish, use one without added sugar. - Hot pepper sauce - Salt and pepper

Instructions In a large bowl, mix the onion with the fresh lime juice. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Mix in the tomato juice, ketchup, hot pepper sauce (optional), salt, and pepper. Then just add the cooked shrimp (only if serving mixed with the salsa to eat by the spoonful), tomatoes, cucumber, and jalapeño. Mix to combine and reserve.

Recipe

I like to gently mix in the cilantro and avocados right before serving. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Enjoy!

Recipe

If you prefer, serve the shrimp rimmed on a glass instead, so that you can dip it in the salsa and scoop the shrimp and salsa up with tortilla chips.

Recipe

Cooking shrimp for shrimp cocktail It is a very simple process! Just bring water to a boil in a large pot. Drop deveined shrimp in boiling water and boil until shrimp curl into a loose ‘C’ shape.

Recipe

Then, drain and transfer shrimp into a bowl with ice (recommended) or run under cold water in a colander. Peel it and remove the tail only if you plan to serve the shrimp with the salsa.

Recipe

Store this Mexican shrimp cocktail in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.  Do not freeze! Be aware the avocado may brown a little!
