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. Let’s explore how to make this delicious and easy Mexican Shrimp Cocktail at home.
