CAMPECHANA EXTRA (MEXICAN SEAFOOD COCKTAIL)
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.

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 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.

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!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a very large pot over medium heat. Add the fennel, onion, shallots, and salt and saute until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and 3/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and saute 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste. Add tomatoes with their juices, wine, fish stock and bay leaf. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend, about 30 minutes.
- Add the clams and mussels to the cooking liquid. Cover and cook until the clams and mussels begin to open, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and fish. Simmer gently until the fish and shrimp are just cooked through, and the clams are completely open, stirring gently, about 5 minutes longer (discard any clams and mussels that do not open). Season the soup, to taste, with more salt and red pepper flakes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

MEXICAN SEAFOOD COCKTAIL (CAMPECHANA)
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.;)

- Place a medium-size frying pan over medium heat and pour in half of the vegetable oil. Add the fish and sear for a few seconds, just enough to seal it on both sides. This step will give the fish a better flavor, as well as keep it from falling apart when it’s in the soup. After you’ve seared the fish, set aside.
- Roast the tomato, garlic, and onion in the same frying pan until the skin of the tomato (and only that of the tomatis slightly charred. Afterward, set all these ingredients aside.
- In the same pan, fry the tortilla until lightly golden (but be careful not to burn it). The tortilla will add a thick consistency to the broth.
- Using your blender, blend the tomato, onion, garlic, and jalapeño pepper with a little bit of water (you can use fish or seafood broth if you have it). Add salt and black pepper to your liking, along with the fried tortilla, and blend again.
