Coctel De Camaron (Mexican Shrimp Cocktail)

Liam Perkins

Report

Tangy shrimp cocktail is fresh and crunchy, sweet, savoury and picante. Serve with traditional saltine crackers, tortilla chips, or in cucumber cups. Or to make it a plated dish, top tostadas for tostadas de camaron! This will serve 6-8 people depending on the amount of other food served.

Notes

Coctel de camaron has a lot of liquid, necessary for proper flavor so don't drain the "soup", just serve it in bowls or coupes unless you are serving it on tostadas, in which case you can limit the amount of vegetable juice spooned over.

If serving in cucumber cups, use slightly more salt and spice as the strength of flavour will be diluted by the cucumber.
