I prepare this refreshing shrimp cocktail for my family a lot during the hot summer days. Being a Mexican family, we always add Mexican hot sauce (such as Valentina® or Tapatio®) and serve with saltine crackers on the side. The trick is to start with well-chilled shrimp, ketchup, and tomato juice cocktail so it can be ready after only chilling 1 hour in the fridge. Top with additional hot sauce and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Spanish onion: 0.33333 cup (chopped)
  • lime juice: 0.25 cup (freshly squeezed)
  • chilled cooked medium shrimp - peeled, deveined, and: 1 pound (tails removed)
  • roma (plum) tomatoes: 2 piece (chopped)
  • cucumber: 1 piece (chopped)
  • stalk celery: 1 piece (chopped)
  • jalapeno pepper, seeded and: 1 piece (chopped)
  • salt: 2 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 2 tsp
  • ½ cups chilled tomato and clam juice cocktail (such as Clamato®): 1 piece
  • chilled ketchup (such as Heinz®): 1 cup
  • bunch fresh cilantro - stems discarded and leaves: 1 piece (chopped)
