Ingredients

1 pound Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup ketchup
1 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice, plus 2 tbsp
1 tablespoon hot sauce, preferably Mexican (add more to taste)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus several sprigs for garnish
1/2 medium white onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup jícama and/or cucumber, diced and peeled
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
Several lime slices for garnish
Tostadas, chips or saltine crackers for serving

Steps:

Bring 1 quart (1L) of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and let the water return to a simmer and poach for an additional minute or two. Scoop the shrimp out and place onto a rimmed baking sheet and chill 30 minutes. The shrimp can be made a day in advance and chilled until ready to serve.
For the sauce, stir together the ketchup, lime juice, the Mexican hot sauce, olive oil and cilantro in a large bowl. This step can be completed a day in advance, stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
In a small strainer, rinse the onion under cold water, then shake off the excess liquid, and add to the sauce. Peel, dice and add the jicama; dice and add the cucumber. Stir in the chilled shrimp and the avocado right before serving.
Garnish with lime and serve with tostadas, chips, or saltine crackers.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL (COCTEL DE CAMARONES ESTILO MEXICANO)

Authentic Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Coctel de Camarones estilo Mexicano) image

I prepare this refreshing shrimp cocktail for my family a lot during the hot summer days. Being a Mexican family, we always add Mexican hot sauce (such as Valentina® or Tapatio®) and serve with saltine crackers on the side. The trick is to start with well-chilled shrimp, ketchup, and tomato juice cocktail so it can be ready after only chilling 1 hour in the fridge. Top with additional hot sauce and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy!
