Mexican-style shrimp cocktail! A superstar appetizer bursting with fresh, zingy flavors and made with ASC labeled shrimp, so you know the seafood you’re buying is raised responsibly. Serve in little glasses around the table or in a big bowl and let everyone dig in.
- Take around 10-14 oz of ASC labeled shrimp, raw or cooked.
- If using raw, dice a few cloves of garlic and fry in a little oil before adding the shrimp, cooking for around 4 minutes. Allow to cool, roughly chop half and leave the rest intact. Set aside.
- If using cooked, just roughly chop half and leave the rest intact.
- Dice and add to a large bowl around 1/2 cup each of celery, cucumber and tomatoes.
- Add a few tablespoons of chopped jalapeños and around 1/4 cup of chopped red onion.
- Add a few shakes of your favorite hot sauce, a handful of chopped cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime and all of the shrimp (including any juice they were cooked in).
- Pour over some tomato puree or tomato sauce to achieve your chosen consistency, anywhere between 1.5 – 2 cups.
- Mix well then add some chopped avocado to finish. Gently stir and serve.
