Mexican Shrimp Cocktail: A Refreshing and Flavorful Seafood Delight
Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, also known as Cóctel de Camarones, is a vibrant and refreshing seafood dish that bursts with flavors from fresh ingredients like tomatoes, onions, cilantro, avocado, and a hint of heat from jalapeño. Unlike the classic American shrimp cocktail served with a side of cocktail sauce, this version is more like a chilled soup or salsa, combining cooked shrimp with a zesty, tangy tomato-based sauce. It’s the perfect appetizer or light meal for warm weather, backyard barbecues, or whenever you’re craving something fresh and satisfying.
