A fresh, zesty Mexican seafood classic packed with shrimp, avocado, tomato, and citrus flavors. Perfect as a light meal or refreshing appetizer.
Ingredients
1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
1 cup tomato juice or Clamato
½ cup ketchup
1 avocado, diced
1 tomato, diced
½ cucumber, diced
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp lime juice
1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by placing the cooked shrimp in a large bowl. Add the diced tomato, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño for a fresh and colorful base.
In another bowl, mix the tomato juice, ketchup, and lime juice until well combined. This creates the signature tangy cocktail sauce.
Pour the sauce over the shrimp mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated. Carefully fold in the diced avocado so it stays intact.
Chill the cocktail in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to let the flavors blend together.
Serve cold in cups or bowls and garnish with extra avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges.
