Instructions
- Bring a medium size pot of water to boil (can add any aromatics as desired: onion, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, etc). Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp is pink in color. Remove the shrimp from the water and place in an ice bath or rinse with cold water.
- In a large glass bowl combine the diced cucumber, jalapeno, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Stir together. Add in the shrimp.
- Pour the clamato juice and lime juice over the ingredients in the bowl. Add the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust if needed. Add sugar if desired to cut the acidity. Add hot sauce as desired.
Notes
- Clamato: A tomato based drink that is fresh, tangy, and loaded up with savory flavors. Use a store-bought version or try our Homemade Clamato Juice.
- Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice is best, there's no additional sweetness or extras added.
- Hot Sauce: Use your favorite type, and pick the heat level you prefer.
- Avocado: This is an optional ingredient. If you are using this in your cocktail it is recommended to serve the dish the same day it is made, do not store leftovers.
