AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL (COCTEL DE CAMARONES ESTILO MEXICANO)

Authentic Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Coctel de Camarones estilo Mexicano) image

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!

Here's a tasty twist on a classic starter. This dish combines deliciously diverse Mexican flavors, from fresh cilantro to authentic hot sauce. The textural contrast of crunchy jicama and creamy avocado makes this a uniquely tasty cocktail sauce for any poached seafood.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup ketchup
1 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice, plus 2 tbsp
1 tablespoon hot sauce, preferably Mexican (add more to taste)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus several sprigs for garnish
1/2 medium white onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup jícama and/or cucumber, diced and peeled
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
Several lime slices for garnish
Tostadas, chips or saltine crackers for serving

Steps:

Bring 1 quart (1L) of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and let the water return to a simmer and poach for an additional minute or two. Scoop the shrimp out and place onto a rimmed baking sheet and chill 30 minutes. The shrimp can be made a day in advance and chilled until ready to serve.
For the sauce, stir together the ketchup, lime juice, the Mexican hot sauce, olive oil and cilantro in a large bowl. This step can be completed a day in advance, stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
In a small strainer, rinse the onion under cold water, then shake off the excess liquid, and add to the sauce. Peel, dice and add the jicama; dice and add the cucumber. Stir in the chilled shrimp and the avocado right before serving.
Garnish with lime and serve with tostadas, chips, or saltine crackers.

MEXICAN-STYLE SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Mexican-Style Shrimp Cocktail image

You can pretty much get Mexican food like tacos and burritos in just about any corner of the country these days. However, Mexican Shrimp Cocktails don't seem to have caught on elsewhere as they have in the Bay Area. Here's my version--you can adapt your own recipe using the listed ingredients and amounts as a rough guide.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 cup clam juice
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 ¼ cups peeled, seeded, diced ripe tomatoes
1 cup diced English cucumber
½ cup diced celery
½ cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons seeded and diced jalapeno peppers
½ cup ketchup
2 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
Mexican-style hot sauce, to taste
1 large Hass avocado, cubed

Steps:

Place clam juice and oregano in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and stir just until shrimp turn pink and are not quite cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Reserve liquid. Let shrimp cool to room temperature.
Place chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, red onion, and jalapenos is a mixing bowl. Add ketchup, cooking liquid from the shrimp, lime juice, cilantro, and hot sauce. Gently mix until ingredients are well blended.
Chop shrimp into bite-size pieces, leaving a few whole for garnishes. Stir chopped pieces into the vegetable mixture. Wrap mixing bowl with plastic wrap. Place reserved shrimp in a bowl; wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate shrimp cocktail and reserved shrimp until thoroughly chilled, 2 to 3 hours.
