Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds (907 ⅕ g) Poached Shrimp (peeled. *save some with tails on for garnish)
  • ½ (½) Cucumber (finely diced)
  • ¼ Cup (40 g) Red Onion (finely diced)
  • ½ bunch (½) Cilantro
  • 1 (1) Mango (finely diced)
  • ¼ Cup (41 g) corn
  • 2 (2) Limes (zested and squeezed)
  • 1 (1) Avocado (diced)
  • 1 Jar (1 12 oz.) Cocktail Sauce
  • Dash of Salt

Instructions
 

  • Finely dice a ½ Cucumber. I leave the seeds in and the skin on. I like the deep green color of the skin but if you don't, go ahead and remove the skin and/or the seeds.
    ½ Cucumber
  • Finely, I mean, FINELY dice a ¼ cup of ¼ Cup Red Onion. You don't want to chomp down on big pieces of onion. I used a red onion but if you just have a white or yellow onion, that will work too.
    ¼ Cup Red Onion
  • Chop a half bunch of cilantro. If you love cilantro, add the whole bunch. If you are not a fan, just do a ¼ of a bunch of cilantro. Please don't leave it out completely. This Mexican shrimp cocktail recipe NEEDS cilantro.
  • Finely dice a medium sized ripe mango. Not sure how to peel and dice a mango?
  • Zest and juice two limes. I use a microplane zester.
  • Add the corn. I use frozen corn kernels and I do not cook them.
  • Lastly add 1 large avocado or 2 small avocados, diced.
  • Remove the shells of the shrimp and dice the shrimp into bite sized pieces.
  • Combine all the ingredients with the cocktail sauce.
  • Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Add the hot sauce and/or the jalapeno pepper.
  • Refrigerate for an hour so the flavors can develop and marry together.
