CAMPECHANA EXTRA (MEXICAN SEAFOOD COCKTAIL)



Campechana Extra (Mexican Seafood Cocktail) image

Campechana is the perfect marriage of shrimp cocktail and salsa, with extra layers of flavor thanks to sweet lump crabmeat, smoky New Mexican chiles, briny olives, and creamy avocado. This version was adapted from the ever-popular appetizer served at Goode Company Seafood in Houston, TX.

Yield 4-6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 medium New Mexico (also called Anaheim), poblano, or Hatch chiles (about 6 ounces)
1/2 pound medium shrimp (preferably wild), peeled, deveined, tails removed
Kosher salt
1 small tomato, seeded, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1-2 jalapeños, stems, ribs, and seeds removed, finely chopped
1/2 cup tomato-clam cocktail, such as Clamato juice
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons chopped pitted green olives
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound crabmeat (preferably jumbo lump), picked over
1 avocado, pitted, cubed
1 fresh bay leaf (optional)
Tortilla chips (for serving)

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or preheat broiler. If broiling, place chiles on a rimmed baking sheet. Grill, broil, or roast chiles directly over flame on stovetop, turning occasionally, until very tender and blackened all over, 10-12 minutes. Poblanos might take a little longer, so test doneness with a paring knife.
  • Transfer chiles to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let steam 15 minutes. Peel chiles. Halve lengthwise, discard seeds, and chop into 1/4" pieces.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook shrimp until just opaque and pink, 2-3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice bath and let sit until cool, about 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Mix chiles, tomato, jalapeños, Clamato juice, ketchup, olives, cilantro, onion, oregano, garlic, lime juice, oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Carefully fold in shrimp, crab, and avocado.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl or tall sundae glass and top with bay leaf, if using. Serve with tortilla chips alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Salsa base (without seafood and avocado) can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to a resealable container and chill.

CAMPECHANA: MEXICAN SEAFOOD SOUP



Campechana: Mexican Seafood Soup image

Campechana is a Mexican seafood cocktail usually made of oysters, baby octopus, mussels, shrimp, squid and scallops.The seafood mix is prepared in its broth with vegetable juice, lime juice, ketchup, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, avocado and cilantro. Of course, jalapenos for the spicy kick (I only use 2 SMALL ones for flavor)! Tried this in a restaurant for $20 a bowl!!! I was able to find all these ingredients at Wal-Mart for under $35!! What you can't find in the mix purchase separately (my mix didn't have oysters, mussels or shrimp so I bought canned oysters, skipped the mussels and got frozen shrimp). This is in one word: SUBLIME.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 25-30 bowls, 25-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 lbs seafood (call around to your local grocers seafood section they will most likely have a frozen mix. You want )
1 whole cucumber, peeled and finely diced
3 large tomatoes, finely diced
1 large onion, finely diced
1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
5 jalapenos, finely chopped (I only used 2 very small ones)
2 avocados, chopped (love it so I used 3 firm ones so they wouldn't get musshie)
2 tablespoons vinegar
4 limes, juice of
4 cups seafood stock (don't purchase separately you make your own!)
3 cups vegetable juice
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Boil seafood mix in 4 to 5 cups of water for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Drain, setting aside broth.
  • Cool both seafood and broth.
  • Prepare tomatoes, onions, cilantro, cucumbers and jalapenos.
  • In a large bowl, mix well. Add seafood mix.
  • Add vinegar and juice from limes, broth, ketchup and vegetable juice.
  • Season with cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add avocados.
  • Serve with tostadas or saltine crackers. (I served it with extra sour sourdough crusty rolls).
  • TIPS:.
  • 1) I purchased the seafood as a mix from Food4less for around $3.50 a pound. It was already pre-sliced and ready to go. This is a more economical and convenient alternative than purchasing the oysters, squid and such individually.
  • 2) Most recipes call for Clamato juice but since we are using the broth that absorbed the flavors from the seafood when they were boiled, vegetable juice such as V-8 will do.
  • 3) Beware! I found the 5 jalapenos called for in this recipe to be beyond my "spice" tolerance. Modify the amount according to taste.
  • 4) Of course, get a cold bottle of Corona beer and enjoy!

MEXICAN SEAFOOD COCKTAIL (CAMPECHANA)



Mexican Seafood Cocktail (Campechana) image

This is a favorite at Goode Company Seafood in Houston. It goes perfectly with fried tortilla chips and an ice cold Corona! Here, at the Home, they installed a new computer program and corporate was explaining it - well, we had made it for us in the kitchen, as a trial run and had some left over! It flew out the window - fortunately we had some left over - delicously seafood flavor with lots of spice.;)
