MARGARITA SHRIMP COCKTAIL
Wow... this is amazing! It's a cross between a shrimp cocktail and Mexican salsa. We were a little unsure of the mango and avocado pairing but it was fabulous. The shrimp soak up the flavors from the horseradish, onions, and jalapeno. This will be great to bring to a party or to have for a snack on a relaxing evening home.

Steps:
- 1. Mix first 7 ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- 2. Toss in tomatoes, onions, mango, and shrimp.
- 3. Chop avocado and toss with lime juice. Leave to soak for 3 to 5 minutes. This will slow down the browning process of the avocado.
- 4. Add avocado lime juice to mixture and toss.
- 5. Serve with tortilla chips.
- 6. **NOTE** For a very impressive presentation, I like to serve this in a margarita glass placed on top of a dessert sized plate with some of the avocado mixed in and some sprinkled on top. A lime wedge on the edge of the glass and tortilla chips around the plate. Makes a great appetizer for a dinner party or a great dip for a big party!

Steps:
- Remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails intact. Set shells aside for the stock. Using a small, pointed knife or shrimp deveiner, make a shallow cut lengthwise down the back of each shrimp, then wash out the vein. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat shrimp shells, 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt to boiling over high heat. Add wine, 2 tablespoons lime juice, the peppercorns and handful of cilantro. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 30 minutes. Strain stock through a strainer into a large bowl and discard shells, peppercorns and cilantro. Return stock to same pan and heat to boiling over high heat. Add shrimp; remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand 8 to 10 minutes until shrimp are pink and firm. Meanwhile, fill large bowl half full with ice and water. Strain stock through strainer and plunge shrimp into ice bath. Shrimp can be refrigerated in ice water for several hours. In medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. (Don't use aluminum bowl because the acid in the sauce may react.) Stir in cooked shrimp to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 3 hours. Serve cold.

THE PERFECT MARGARITA
Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

MARGARITAS AND SHRIMP ALL AROUND
First prepare the Margarita and put in the refrigerator to keep cold, then work on the shrimp. The recipe works best if you sample the margarita as you prepare the spicy shrimp. Be sure to leave at least a 1/4 cup for the shrimp or you will have to make more margaritas. Depending on how much you have sampled you may want someone else to tend to the grill. And, as always, don't skimp on the quality of tequila. Oh, and the shrimp is phenomenal!

Tips:
- Chill your glass: To make sure your Shrimp Cocktail Margaritas are extra refreshing, chill your glass before you begin. You can place your glass in the freezer for 30 minutes or fill it with ice and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your margaritas the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp that has been thawed. Be sure to pat the shrimp dry before using them.
- Make your own cocktail sauce: Homemade cocktail sauce is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought sauce. You can find a recipe for cocktail sauce in the article.
- Don't overmix: Overmixing your margaritas will make them watery. Shake or stir your margaritas just until they are combined.
- Garnish with shrimp and lime: For a finishing touch, garnish your margaritas with a shrimp and a lime wedge.
