Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

Preparation

  1. Prep the Shrimp

    • Raw shrimp: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2–3 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.

    • Cooked shrimp: Chop into bite‑sized pieces and proceed to the next step.

  2. Mix the Veggies
    In a large bowl, combine the chopped red onion, diced cucumber, chopped celery, and minced jalapeno. Gently toss to distribute each ingredient evenly.

  3. Combine and Chill
    Add the prepared shrimp to the vegetable mixture and stir until well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry.

  4. Serve
    Spoon the chilled cocktail into individual glasses or a large serving bowl. Top with avocado slices if desired, and serve immediately.
