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!

ADOBO STYLE SHRIMP (FILIPINO)
Yes, you can pretty much "adobo" anything. Here is an adapted recipe I found somewhere online that I tweaked a bit here and there. [The original recipe contained MSG as one of the ingredients.] I don't know if this is "authentic" per se, because all cooks have their own preferences, but it does follow the basic recipe. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Wash shrimp and cut off whiskers. Drain.
- Place in pan or wok, add all ingredients except sugar and cooking oil.
- Cook shrimp until not quite cooked on MED HEAT, maybe 2-4 minutes depending on your shrimp size.
- Drain shrimp (along with garlic). Set sauce aside, and add the sugar.
- Heat cooking oil and fry shrimp and garlic together on MED LOW HEAT.
- When garlic is lightly browned, return the sauce to the pan and finish cooking shrimp.
- [Be sure to not overcook the shrimp-- you can tell if they turn into little O's" instead of C's].
- [Note: If you want a spicy "adobo", add 1 tablespoon of hot sauce or 1-2 minced hot peppers of your preference.].
- Put on serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions (optional).
- Serve with steamed Jasmine rice.
Tips:
- To devein shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the black vein that runs through the center of the shrimp.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your ceviche. Some good choices include tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, cilantro, and avocado.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. Shrimp is best when it is cooked just until it turns pink and opaque.
- Serve ceviche immediately or chill it for later. Ceviche is best when it is served within a few hours of making it.
