NO-BRAINER SHRIMP SPREAD
A variation of the ultimate lazy appetizer recipe from the 80's, when you threw shrimp over a block of cream cheese, poured cocktail sauce over it, and served with crackers. I do it this way for a bigger group and also because it's easier to spread on crackers. Note: Many times I use 3 cans (or 1/4 lb. fresh) shrimp, so I can satisfy greedy shrimp lovers who are there. (Note: You may not need to use the whole bottle of cocktail sauce -- use your judgement adding enough to cream cheese to make it spreading consistency and adding a layer of sauce on top of the mixture.)

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL (COCTEL DE CAMARONES ESTILO MEXICANO)
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!

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen shrimp: Thaw frozen shrimp before using. For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp whenever possible.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook shrimp until they are pink and opaque all the way through.
- Use high-quality crackers: The type of crackers you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the spread. Choose sturdy crackers that will hold up well to the spread.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients to the spread, such as chopped celery, onion, bell pepper, or avocado. You can also add a dash of hot sauce or Old Bay seasoning for a little extra flavor.
- Serve immediately: Shrimp cocktail cracker spread is best served immediately after it is made. The crackers will start to get soft if they sit for too long.
