Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

This recipe for Mexican shrimp cocktail (coctel de camarones) calls for fresh shrimp mixed in a homemade sauce with red onion, avocado, cilantro, and jalapeno. It's a light and delicious appetizer suitable for any occasion!  

Mexican shrimp cocktail is an excellent way to kick off a Mexican-themed meal. Pair it with a Mexican Caesar salad, guisada, vegetarian fajitas, or carne asada tacos.   

Don't forget the pinto beans and rice to complete your meal!I enjoy a delicious shrimp cocktail, but they are always ridiculously costly in restaurants - $12 for 6 little shrimp with a little sauce?!  

I started making my own at home, and now I never feel the need to purchase them when eating out - shrimp cocktail is so simple to prepare that I can make it whenever I want in about 5 minutes.   

This Mexican shrimp cocktail (also called coctel de camarones) is a playful take on a traditional starter. This dish can also be served as a light lunch when accompanied by something like black bean soup.  

To prepare this recipe, you will need shrimp, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, lime juice, tomato sauce, ketchup, orange juice, salt, and black pepper.  

Put the shrimp, veggies, and cilantro in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients for the cocktail sauce.  

Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss to mix. Serve with lime wedges on the side, as preferred.
