Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cucumber finely diced
- 1 roma Tomato finely chopped
- ¼ cup Red onion finely diced
- ¼ cup Cilantro finely chopped
- 1 Jalapeno finely diced (optional)
- 1 pound medium Shrimp cooked and deveined
- 1 jar Louisiana cocktail sauce
- 1 cup Clamato juice
- ½ cup Fresh lime juice
- ½ tablespoon Salt more or less to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large Avocado diced
Instructions
- Add your finely chopped vegetables to a large bowl; including the cucumbers, tomatoes, purple onion, cilantro, and jalapeno if you are using it.
- Now make sure that your shrimp is cleaned and deveined, and that the tails are removed. The shrimp should already be cooked and defrosted. You can cut some of the shrimp up into smaller pieces, or leave them all whole.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl with the vegetables. Now add in the entire jar of cocktail sauce and the clamato juice. Next add in the fresh lime juice, and the salt and pepper.
- Use a spoon to mix up the shrimp cocktail very well, until everything is fully combined.
- Once the shrimp cocktail is completely mixed up, add in the diced avocado and gently stir it in. Serve immediately, or for best results, refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. And enjoy!
Notes
If using raw shrimp, be sure to peel and devein it, and cook it by pan searing or boiling it prior to adding it to the shrimp cocktail.
